About the artist:
Constance LaPalombara says her interest in landscape art comes
from the summers she spent painting in the Italian countryside.
However, in recent years, the urban landscape has been the primary
focus of her work paintings. Mostly using oils, but also watercolor,
she works from direction observation. “Light, or the sensation of
light, and the emotion it evokes, whether through its presence or
absence,” she writes, “is at the heart of the work.”
An accomplished artist, LaPalombara has exhibited widely at galleries, museums, art centers and other venues in the U.S. and Italy, and has been awarded prizes by the Creative Arts Workshop and the Paint and Clay Annual Show in New Haven; the Firehouse Gallery in Milford; Quick Center for the Arts, Fairfield University; Guilford Art League; Discovery Museum in Bridgeport; Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, Va., and others. Her works hang in public collections in New York, Connecticut and Italy.
LaPalombara earned a master’s in fine art from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia. She is a recipient of an Artists Fellowship from the Connecticut Commission on the Art.
The University of Connecticut Health Center’s collection of fine arts serves to enhance the environment and promote the sense of a caring community for patients, visitors, staff and students. Art is selected, acquired and exhibited by the UCHC Art Advisory Committee. To view a selection of the Health Center’s permanent collection visit: www.uchc.edu/auxiliary/art.html.
