Lenox native Deborah Hanson Greene is Lenox Library’s featured artist for November, with an
exhibition of her watercolors in the Welles Gallery called “Pastoral Landscapes and Still Lifes.”
The exhibition features paintings of local rural scenes along with florals and other still-lifes.
A public reception to meet the artist will take place in on Saturday, November 2, 2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
A graduate of Vassar College, Greene left the East Coast after college to work at The Smithsonian, then as a grants/promotional writer in the Midwest, and later in the Baltimore-Washington region. She returned to the Berkshires in 2007, and after working as Norman Rockwell Museum’s Director of Institutional Giving for 12+ years, left that job to pursue painting, dance, and other interests.
Since returning to her childhood home, she has exhibited at the New Marlboro Art Association Gallery, Berkshire Food CoOp, Marketplace Cafe, The Sheffield Collection (a former design shop), Real Gustavian (a former design shop), Gallery on Main (a former pop-up gallery in Great Barrington), Pulse Dance Studios, Great Barrington’s Mason Library, The Stockbridge Library, and The Norfolk Library in
Norfolk, Connecticut.
Previously, her work had been accepted in juried exhibitions at The Torpedo Factory (Alexandria, VA) and Maryland Art League (Annapolis, MD); she also exhibited at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts and in various private galleries and coffeehouses in Annapolis and Baltimore.
Loving the pastoral landscapes, changing seasons, and northern skies that once inspired her as a child, Greene appreciates her new life in the southern Berkshires, which she shares with partner David and two cats in a 150-year-old house.
