ARTIST’S STATEMENT ABOUT THE "WILD ROSE BERRIES" WORK
“Placed in the old hand-woven oak splint basket that, in warmer weather, carries my fleece and spindle when I sit on the hillside with our sheep and spin away the summer afternoons, the sprays of berries seem to arrange themselves. Atop the old cupboard which supports most of my still lifes, and before the pristine white of the plaster wall which seems to reflect the snowy landscape outside, these deep red berries, smooth and hard, contain the seeds of summer days.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST
"Pauline Campanelli (1943–2001) painted in bold and highly realistic oils, distinguished for their clarity and sense of design. An avid naturalist with a museum containing thousands of specimens of shells, minerals, fossils, butterflies and bird nests, Campanelli painted the beloved objects she lives with and loves. Tireless in her effort to achieve new and dramatic combinations in still life, Campanelli bestowed her subjects with character and simple beauty. Campanelli’s work conveys a sense of oneness of humanity and nature and chronicles the richness of her life.
In 1976 Pauline and her husband, painter Dan Campanelli, bought an 18th century Georgian house in the Delaware River Valley. Over the years, the Campanelli’s became virtually self-sufficient. They had flower, herb and vegetable gardens, an orchard and vineyard. Campanelli also spun and dyed wool from her sheep, wrote books on ancient religion and maintained a natural history museum. Pauline’s paintings won over 75 awards and honors including several National Gold Medals, and were featured in countless magazines and galleries.
A still life painter for over 40 years, Pauline was a graduate of the Ridgewood School of Art and also attended the Art Students League in New York City. She was listed in thirteen reference books, and her art, prints and posters are included in public, corporate and private collections throughout the United States. She was featured in "U.S. Art Magazine" January 1989, "Country Living" April 1985 and October 1992.
She worked very slowly, averaging about six paintings a year. She meticulously showed each thread in a ball of yarn. She painted any flowers last, in order not to be hurried.
Pauline died of complications from childhood polio on November 29, 2001."
