April Feature Bart Levy

     Celebrating Southern Landscape

     Bart Levy is child of the south. Hot, humid summers with frigid air conditioning, iced tea all year around (sweet, if your taste runs that way), and children brought up to be polite to their elders. Born in Virginia, raised in North Carolina, resident of Virginia all of her adult life.

     The south definitely influences her painting. Landscapes of lonesome farms, wide rivers and dark creeks. The marshes, the mountains, the rolling hills in-between. Blue skies, ever-changing clouds. It’s a beautiful land, settled first by Native Americans, then European immigrants since time immemorial. The peacefulness, the isolation, the sense of home – she works to capture it all. 

     A graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking, Bart initially worked in graphic design and, later, marketing. Looking for the opportunity to get back to creating art, a highly regarded oil pastel class had an opening. That led to working in oil pastels for several years and, in turn, led to a renewed interest in oil painting, which has grown into a passion that only grows stronger by the day.

Cabell Gallery is proud to represent Levy for the first time with works on view until 4/29!
