About the artist:

Wendy Chazin lives and works in New York City. She was graduated from The Boston University School of Fine and Applied Arts and The School of Visual Art in New York, and later studied and painted in Provence. Her fascination with the South of France inspired in her work a style suggestive of Matisse and the contemporary French artists who followed him. During one of her shows in France , a visionary Japanese agent invited her to join Editions Vision Nouvelles, (a group of famous French and Japanese artists), thus opening up an international market for her lasting through the early 90’s. Chazin now sells throughout the USA SOLO EXHIBITIONS: 2008 Bayer Healthcare Corporation, Wayne-Montville, New Jersey, paintings 2007 Lefferts Gallery, Leonia, New Jersey, paintings and lithographs 2005 Private showing, Weiner/Braid Estates, paintings, lithographs 2003 Burrows/Wolfson- private exhibition, Weston, Connecticut, paintings and lithographs 2001 Private exhibition, Caldwell Estates, Crosswicks, New Jersey, lithographs 2000 Brighton Horizon Art Gallery, Brighton, Victoria, Australia, lithographs 2000 Private exhibition, New York, New York, paintings & lithographs 1999 Fleet Exhibition Space, Empire State Building, New York, New York, paintings & lithographs 1999 Brighton Horizon Art Gallery, Brighton, Victoria, Australia, lithographs 1999 Evelyne Schaffer Gallery, Akron, Ohio, lithographs 1998 Bennett Street Gallery, Atlanta, Georgia, paintings & lithographs 1998 Picture This, Westport, Connecticut, paintings & lithographs 1997 Art Cellar Gallery, Clinton, Connecticut, paintings & lithographs 1994 Z Gallery, New York, New York, paintings 1994 Wyndy Morehead Fine Arts, New Orleans, Louisiana, paintings & lithographs1983 Centre Mediterranean de Commerce Internationale, "L'Amerique regard La France," Marseille, France, paintings GROUP EXHIBITIONS: 2008 Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2008 Harrison-Stanton Gallery,Akron,Ohio, paintings 2007 Art Gotham Gallery, New York City, paintings 2007 Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2006 Broome Street Gallery, New York, New York, paintings 2006 Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2005 Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2005 Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2004 Broome Street Gallery, New York, New York, paintings 2004 Atlantic Gallery, New York, New York, paintings 2003 Harris-Stanton, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2003 Harris-Stanton, Akron, Ohio, paintings 2002 National Academy Museum and School of Fine Art, New York, New York - 2001 National Academy Museum and School of Fine Art, New York, New York (awarded Honorable Mention2nd prize) 1997 Private Exhibition, Marseille, France, paintings 1996 Featured Artist, Evelyne Shaffer Gallery, Akron, paintings & lithographs 1996 Private Exhibition, New York, New York, paintings 1993 Wellsart, New York, New York, paintings 1993 Dyansen Gallery, Beverly Hills, California, paintings 1988 Editions Vision Nouvelle, Tokyo, Japan, paintings & lithographs 1987 Editions Vision Nouvelle, Tokyo, Japan, paintings & lithographs 1987 Salle des Congres, Ajaccio, Corsica, France, paintings 1986 Private Exhibition, Nans les Pins, France, paintings 1985 Carolyn Hill Gallery, Soho, New York, New York, paintings 1984 Country Art Gallery, Locust Valley, New York, paintings 1984 Maison du Beaujolais, Marseille, France, paintings 1982 Galerie Vendome, Paris, France, paintings 1981 La Residence, Megeve, Switzerland, paintings 1980 Gallery Madison 90, New York, New York, sculpture 1977-79 Piccolo Mondo Gallery, Palm Beach, Florida, sculpture 1976 Charles Mann Gallery, New York, New York, sculpture 1974-75 Tiffany's, New York, New York, sculpture 1973-75 Luten, Clarey & Stern, New York, New York, sculpture 1969-73 Vernissage Gallery, Henri Bendel, New York, New York, sculpture PRIVATE COLLECTIONS: Goodrich Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina Yale-New Haven Medical Center, New Haven, Connecticut Cleveland Art Museum, Cleveland, Ohio James Burrows private estate, Beverly Hills, California Paul Alter private estate, Los Angeles, California Laurie Burrows Grad, private estate, Beverly Hills, Caligornia George Plimpton private estate, New York, New York Neil Simon private estate, New York, New York Edward Vilella private estate, New York, New York Jacqueline Suzann private estate, New York, New York William Clay Ford private estate, New York, New York Avril Harriman private estate, New York, New York Martin Charnin private estate, New York, New York Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Cooper, private estate, New York, New York ARTIST TECHNIQUE After painting with oils for a few years, I changed to acrylics because I found the oils too slow and deadening to my creativity-- whether for still-life, interiors or landscapes. I 've conntinued ever since , more than 30 years. I developed a technique that gives the canvas a richness and texture not always associated with acrylics. What I use does not come from a bottle but from my own process to treat the canvas itself-- large or small. Clients have referred to the work as "sculptural" in its feeling because of the ultimate effect. Regarding my subject matter, often the objects I incororate in my paintings are ones that have been stored in my mind rather than arranged in a room or on a table before me to copy.
