JOCELYN FINE
My goal as a painter is to be present and available to the energy around me and my intuition. My process is about adding on and wiping away, with each layer of paint and each brush stroke representing a moment in time, aging and also being reborn. I am drawn to colors; the feelings that they evoke and the effect and intensity that they have when they share the same space. Layering color and form, slipping in and out of focus, my paintings breathe life force and vitality with each stroke. This is how I see the world, this is my art.
Jocelyn Fine (b. 1969, Pittsburg, PA) received both a B.F.A in Fine Art and a B.A. in Art History from the University of Vermont and her M.S. in Architectural and Painting Conservation from Columbia University. She studied Painting Conservation at the Istituto Per l’Arte and il Restauro in Florence, Italy. Jocelyn is an abstract painter whose work is in private collections throughout New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Most recently, her paintings were featured in NJ Home, and NBC’s George to the Rescue.
She comes from a family of artists and filmmakers; her mother is a sculptor, her brother is a painter and animator, and her Aunt was the owner of the eponymous Rose Fried Gallery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Her art is heavily influenced by the New York School Artists of the 1940s and 50s.
