Jan Dilenschneider in her studio (2013)
For years, Jan Dilenschneider painted in her studio, taking inspiration from the beauty she experienced living on the Long Island Sound. Her still lifes and landscapes were very personal works of art she shared only with her family and close friends.
But when she began winning awards and other recognition, Mrs. Dilenschneider knew her art was no longer just a hobby. It was a way to communicate on a deeper level with a wider audience, and so she started exhibiting her work.
Mrs. Dilenschneider will travel from her home in Darien, Connecticut, to Paris, where an exhibition of 27 of her paintings will take place at Galerie Pierre-Alain Challier at 8, rue Debelleyme in Paris’ historic Le Marais district beginning July 9th. Her work will cover two floors of the gallery; many of the pieces were created especially for the show.
Gallery owner Pierre-Alain Challier said: “Jan Dilenschneider is a gifted painter. We believe Parisian collectors will be drawn to her subtle, yet powerful use of color, and her ability to evoke a strong emotional response to her landscapes and still lifes.”
