Ocean Galleries is thrilled to welcome the amazing young artist, Autumn de Forest, to Stone Harbor over Labor Day weekend. Autumn’s extraordinary path has been distinguished by many achievements, including being the youngest artist in history to have a solo exhibition at a major American museum and being honored at the Vatican for her profound influence on arts and culture. Her works are collected around the world, and she has been confirmed as a “profound artistic prodigy.” Equal to her creative endeavors is Autumn’s commitment to humanitarian causes and giving back.
Since her debut, Autumn has explored a variety of styles and themes, sometimes using canvases larger than herself. As a self-taught artist, de Forest has developed multiple techniques in addition to more traditional painting methods. Her innovative “pull painting” method involves dragging paint across a canvas with a wire, while her “wind painting” method makes use of an air compressor and diluted acrylic paint.
In conjunction with her exhibit, Autumn will make a special stop at St. Lucy Day School for Children with Visual Impairments (Philadelphia, PA) for a painting session with students who have attended summer camp at Helen L. Diller Vacation Home for Blind Children (Avalon, NJ). Together with the children, Autumn will be painting an oversized canvas which will be auctioned to raise funds for the Diller Home. The private event on Wednesday, September 5 at 12:00 PM is open to media for coverage.
The Ocean Galleries exhibition is FREE and open to the public with all artwork available for acquisition.
