I was lucky enough to spend the day with my dear friend and fellow artist, Penny Santy.  It was a lovely day for a drive to Little Falls, New York where Penny’s art show, Intertwined, is currently on exhibition at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts (MVCA), 410 Canal Place, Little Falls, New York 13365.

Penny gave a talk today explaining her process and the emotion that defines her work.  It is to do with motion – in winds, in ocean currents and in the way people must physically move, working together to attain goals, helping each other rise up the emotional ladder too, all while intertwining with nature.

Ghostly figures emerge from the abstracted canvases, which are inspired by her personal life, one of beach water sports, travel and enjoying time with family and friends.  In addition, she infuses a tribute to Native American mores and interprets favorite poetry stanzas then titles these oil paintings accordingly.

There are seventeen paintings in the show.  Several are still available for sale.  You can view this exhibition through November 14, 2025.  See the MVCA website for the deets including hours of operation.
