Helen Rundell
A native of Long Island, New York, Helen Rundell has developed a uniquely inspired vision of the American northeast. For her subjects, she chooses the trees, barns and landscapes of New England and Long Island. Rundell's form of realism is particularly suited to theses simple rustic scenes, which she re-creates with honesty and emotion. By working originally in an egg tempera medium, the artist is able to achieve stroke-by-stroke detail. The resulting effect is one that goes beyond the visual to encompass all the senses. Ms. Rundell has been honored with exhibits in the Smithsonian Institution, the West Point Museum of Art and many American embassies throughout the World.Although Helen Rundell's work is strongly rooted in the traditions of the American northeast, her quiet realism transcends local boundaries to reveal a common human denominator. Her exhibits in the Minami and Nantenski Galleries in Tokyo, the American Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, the Shorewood Gallery in Brussels and the White Mountain Art Festival in New Hampshire are all testaments to the talent and spirit of the artist.
