Embracing the goal to enhance and support the rich artistic talent on Long Island, LIM has created a special membership opportunity for visual artists, LIMarts: a collaborative arts group. Designed for artists dedicated to creating a forum within our cultural community, LIMarts offers space for the exhibition and sale of artwork, varied programming events, lectures and opportunities for social gathering with other artists and the public.
Artist of the Month
Hillary Serota Needle
The Long Island Museum and LIMarts is thrilled to announce that the March Artist of the Month is Hillary Serota Needle!
Hillary Serota Needle is a contemporary realist painter based in Long Island, NY, whose work in oils is reflective of still life, architecture, flora, food, landscape, and street scenes that she’s photographed in her travels. As inspired as she is by a change of scenery, the beauty of Long Island offers unsurpassed opportunities to create. She has attracted collectors across the country, and her work has appeared in numerous shows and juried exhibitions. She is an active member of LIMarts, the Art League of Long Island, the Art Guild of Port Washington, the Huntington Arts Council, and the Smithtown Arts Council. She is represented by Art Studio Hamptons Gallery, Westhampton, NY, as well as online galleries LizaPruitt.com and SerenaAndLily.com.
“Drawing inspiration and direction from my photographs, I trained myself to see what I’m looking at. By breaking down an image into shadows, light, movement, and color, I discovered the ability to breathe life into something of one dimension. I especially enjoy isolating an up close perspective on glass, water reflections, and flowers. It’s the patterns and complexities found in everyday moments that continue to amaze and delight – nature’s formula for the creation of something unique, imperfect, and random,” says Hillary.
