Interview with Melody Phaneuf, a painter with, and the Vice President of The Guild of Boston Artists. Produced by Pierre Chiha
Melody Phaneuf's paintings have been exhibited at Galerie Herouet in Paris, The National Arts Club in New York City, and were included in a traveling exposition in Japan. Her work is regularly displayed at the Guild of Boston Artists, Newbury Street, Boston, MA.
Melody is a member of the Fenway Studios Cooperative, a community of artists whose historic north light building was modeled on the 19th century Parisian ateliers.
Melody says, "My paintings are expressions of my love of color and design. I am inspired by a variety of themes. I delight in the romantic quality of France's landscape and culture, the warmth and vitality of her people. I am intrigued by still-life arrangement, with the order and structure of abstract elements. Symbolic compositions allow for the inclusion of narrative, linking story telling to the visual language. I am amused by the imaginative scenes, most based on my interior world of dreams. Through these pictures, I hope to share my enchantment with, and awe of, the possibilities of art."
