Whitney Pintello

I relish reverse painting on glass, exploring what is transparent, what is obscured, and what is made vibrant by marrying paint and glass. Glass highlights whimsy and color and each lovely flaw. In my most recent series, Broken, I also shatter glass paintings and reassemble them to find the strength of the mended break. I celebrate resilience in the world, our capacity to remake ourselves every day, through color, humor, art. I often feature birds, for the nest and the cage speak to us all. I come back to the rooster or the owl for their ferocity, their sharp eye that makes us feel seen.
