Leeanna teaches a Portrait Drawing and Painting in Oil class here at The Art Guild (beginning May 22) as well as at the Atelier Flowerfields in St. James. Her emphasis is on techniques used by artists throughout the 18th and 19th century. Recenty her portrait “Kevin” was ranked number 10 in the 50 Beautiful Paintings Of Beautiful Men On Instagram on BuzzFeed.
This evening is FREE to the pubic. We will raffle off the “finished” portrait.
Leeanna Chipana began her art studies at the Stevenson Academy of Fine Arts in Oyster Bay, NY in 2004 where she studied under painter and illustrator Attila Hejja. While working as his personal assistant Leeanna studied figure painting with Mr. Hejja. After Mr. Hejja’s sudden death in the Summer of 2007, Leeanna decided to devote her life to pursuing her own art studies more rigorously and dedicate herself to teaching traditional painting and drawing. She started by attending the New York Art Students League where she studied figure painting for two years with artist Nelson Shanks. She went on to continue her studies under full scholarship with Robert Armetta of the Long Island Academy of Fine Art at the Atelier Armetta program located in Glen Cove, NY. She attended the Water Street Atelier where she was enrolled in a full-time program dedicated to classical drawing and painting under artist Jacob Collins. Her work ranges from landscapes to still-life and portraits from life.
Leeanna continued her training at the Grand Central Atelier in New York in their full-time core program – the Water Street Atelier with Jacob Collins. She was a recipient of the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Grant, a Hudson River Fellow and was awarded a scholarship to attend the New York Academy of Art where she earned her MFA in figure painting. She was a recipient of the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Grant, a Hudson River Fellow and was awarded one of the highest scholarships offered to attend the academy. After her graduation last Spring, her work was shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Wausau, Wisconsin and the Zhou B. Arts center in Chicago. She uses her traditional background to focus on the theme of indigenous portraits in landscapes as a way to explore her own mixed Indigenous-Peruvian heritage.

Thank You to All Our Sponsors and Supporters!
Friday, December 7, 7pm, at the Village Club of Sands Point.
Honoring: Stan Brodsky, Ann Pellaton and Ed and Karen Adler
Part of the proceeds of The Fling will help fund our education and scholarship programs, and the care of our home at Elderfields.
Karen and Ed Adler
Karen and Ed Adler met while she was at Barnard and he was at Columbia Law School. They attended art and architecture survey courses together, among other dating venues. They married the year after graduating and in 1976 moved from Manhattan to Port Washington. After commuting to NYC together for a couple of years, Karen retired to raise their two children, both of whom are now Port homeowners with their families. Ed still commutes a few days each week to his Manhattan real estate investment and management office while serving as mayor of the Village of Sands Point for the past seven years.
Karen and Ed have been involved in supporting education and the arts for decades, both in Manhattan and in Port. They gave the lead gift to establish the Port Washington Library Foundation’s first endowment fund, and the income from their gift is dedicated to perpetuating the Library’s Art Gallery that bears their names and displays monthly exhibits of the outstanding work of local artists. Steps away, the new Spielman Children’s Library opened last year thanks to a successful capital campaign Ed chaired for the Library. They are enthusiastic supporters of the Guild’s programming and accomplishments.
Stan Brodsky
Born in Brooklyn, Stan Brodsky drew as a child but it was while serving in WWII that he came upon a small box of watercolors with brush, and he began illustrating his letters home. He was awarded the Bronze Star for rescuing a fellow soldier. Returning to the US, he studied at the University of Missouri School of Journalism he realized that he wanted to pursue art. Received an MFA from University of Iowa and a PhD in art education from Columbia University. Following 30 years of teaching at CW Post campus of Long Island University he was named professor emeritus of art. Brodsky has 20 solo shows, numerous group shows, awards and fellowships. He considers himself a post-abstract expressionist whose extensive travels have influenced his abstract landscape paintings. Stan works from his studio in Huntington NY and continues to teach artists.
Author of “The Uncertainty of Experience: An Artist’s Journey.” Post-Abstract Expressionist.
Ann Pellaton in Memorium
Ann Pellaton was a prolific artist who worked in a variety of media including watercolor, oil, etching, monoprint, and collage. Painting since the 1950s and etching since the 1970s, Ann received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Art from Queens College. She studied alongside notable artists including Barse Miller, Paul Wood, Aida Whedon, John Ferren and Angelo Longo. Ann’s travels to Africa, Italy, China, and Spain have inspired many of her works. She has exhibited throughout the United States, in Europe, Canada, Israel, and Egypt and received many awards from distinguished institutions such as the National Association of Women Artists, Heckscher Museum, Manhasset Art Association, and Audubon Artists. Listed in “Who’s Who of American Women,” Ann was the former president of the National Association of Women Artists, and a member of the Aquarelle Club, Manhasset Art Association, The Art Guild and a longtime member of the Art Advisory Council of the Port Washington Library. Her work is included in numerous private collections. Constantly experimenting with new materials and concepts, Ann was a long time member and supporter of The Art Guild. We have been proud to have her participate (and win awards) in our juried gallery exhibits.
Ann continued to work from her studio in Port Washington until shortly before her death in September 2018. She will be dearly missed..
