Wynn Creasy
Wynn
Creasy is an artist
currently based in Alexandria, VA. She has had a wide professional career as an
actress, singer, teacher and artist. Wynn's love of Oil Pastel as her medium of
choice lets her constantly explore the fine line between drawing and painting.
She strives to use her training as a musician and dancer to influence her use
of harmony/dissonance and rhythm in her use of line and color. Ms. Creasy
apprenticed with Ann Aves Martin at Savage Mill Studios in Savage, MD.,
and has attended classes at the Art League School. Her work has been
greatly influenced by the works of the Impressionists, as well as colorists
such as Rothko and Wolf Kahn, among others.
Originally from Southwestern Virginia in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, Wynn’s love of nature and the contrasts of land and
sky are illustrated in her use of line and brilliant colors. These are combined
to give a peaceful, yet challenging landscape or abstract painting. Whether
realistic, impressionist, or abstracted, many of her paintings are of
remembered places of her childhood. All her paintings start with nature. Some
favorite subjects of her art are a back road, the sunset's light illuminating
the hills the distance, the unusual shape of trees in shadow… all leading you
to wonder what is around the corner or how the sky will change next.
The past year has seen a large
recognition of Ms. Creasy 's talent as an artist. Wynn recently placed BEST
IN SHOW at Capitol Arts Network's "Travel Afar" Exhibit at the Washington
Photo Gallery in Bethesda MD. She was selected from over 700 entries for the
Art League of Alexandria's "International Landscape Show". She was selected as
one of 5 international artists to be interviewed and paintings displayed on the
online art Magazine www.creativehorizonsonline.com. Wynn is a recent finalist
in the online Juried American Juried Art Salon ( www.artjury.com) She has had

DC; and Creative Artisans Art Consultancy Silver Spring, MD.
