(continued on page 13) Area Gallery features works by Daniels and Donoghue The Valley Hospital Art Gallery, 223 Van Dien Avenue in Ridgewood, will feature the oil paintings of Kay Daniels and the watercolors of Gloria Donoghue this month. The Valley Hospital Art Gallery is located in the corridor leading to the Kurth Cottage Café and Gift Shop, where the artists’ work can be seen seven days a week. A portion of the sale of all artwork benefits the hospital’s Nursing Scholarship Program. Daniels studied art at Bergen Community College in Paramus. With special inspiration from teachers Bernice Liebowitz and Mona Brody, she honed her emphasis on form and color. She experimented with watercolor, pastel, and acrylic, but found her great love was oil. Her work has varied from abstract to traditional, from the human figure to landscape. Her work has been described as full of color and light. She draws inspiration from her love of nature, people watching, and her travels. Daniels is an active supporter of the Fort Lee Artists Guild. She has won prestigious awards at exhibitions and has exhibited with the Fort Lee Artists Guild, the Fort Lee Museum, the Fort Lee Public Library, Cresskill Library, the Suhae Gallery, the American Sephardic Federation, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations of New York, and many other art groups in New York and New Jersey. Her artwork is in many private collections. “I approach each painting, whether a portrait, a landscape, flowers or abstract with a need for expression, and I pursue it with everything I have learned in color and construction. I experiment with unusual materials, and have worked extensively with acrylics, pastels, and multimedia constructions, as well as oils. My art allows me to connect my inner being and essence with life around me,” Daniels said. A native New Yorker, Gloria Donoghue’s watercolors capture the spirit and convey the mood of her native surroundings and the many European countries she has visited. Since her retirement as a New York City teacher, she has studied watercolor painting with many outstanding teachers who have challenged and inspired her. They include Charles Reid, Mel Stabin, Eli Tosenthal, Christine Freidman, Dominic Distefano, and Mary Ann Heizen; and international artists Alvaro Castagnet and David Taylor. Donoghue’s house portraits have been commissioned by homeowners in Pennsylvania, Kansas, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, and New York. Her award-winning work is permanently on display at the Pearl River Library and has been exhibited at the Community Center in Highland Park, Illinois and in libraries in Valley Cottage, Upper Saddle River, and Oradell. 3 x .75
