About the Cover
Five years ago HAC decided to provide our artist
members with the opportunity to create artwork
representing the Huntington Summer Arts Festival
for the Summer issue of our Arts Cultural News.
This year Marie Winn’s oil painting "Together Again"
was chosen for the cover. “With this piece I hope
to communicate the simple joy of being together
again. I have been waiting with great anticipation
to be surrounded by my multi-faceted community
in the beautiful outdoors, with the sounds of live
music. What we've taken for granted for too long
now will be balm for the soul. I've been working as a
liturgical musician for 55 years now, and I think that
has influenced my oil work, making it very figurative
in nature, since I do paint quite a lot of what I see in
my workings with the church. I am most interested
Marie Winn in portraying people, and how they are interacting
with each other in random small moments. When
considering what the outdoor concert season would look like, all I can think about is the
enjoyable 'connected-ness' of the crowd, and how that would look and feel. It’s been so
long since we've had such luxury.” Said Marie.
