Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Joan Feierabend

The Tunbridge artist proves there’s more than one way to skin a — er, to paint a human face. In her new show, “Portraits in Two Visual Languages,” she pairs recognizable pastel portraits with abstract oil paintings of the same subject. Between her sensuous, romantic pastels and geometric paintings, Feierabend creates a rich and colorful study of the human form. The work is on view at the Tunbridge Public Library through November 19.
