Robin Nuse has been a practicing artist in northern Vermont and
Hanover, New Hampshire, for more than thirty years. Raised in Bucks
County, Nuse trained early in academic art by studying with her
grandfather, Roy C. Nuse, a Pennsylvania Impressionist painter.
She went on to major in photography at the Rhode Island School of
Design. Her work now blends a photographer’s keen observation
of light and bold sense of composition with a painter’s impressionistic
use of color. Lately Nuse has started producing pastels on a larger
scale. She works in her studio from her own photographs of images
that demand a larger format than her more traditional plein
air pastels. The subjects chosen, although still realistic,
are approached in a more abstract manner, and colors are exaggerated
or pushed to a more emotional level. Employing many types of handmade
pastels on sheets of handmade, sanded paper, Nuse layers the pastels
to achieve the color balance she desires. |
