Description

Artist: Lauren DiFerdinando


  Lauren DiFerdinando grew up in Bucks County Pennsylvania, drawing and painting since she was old enough to hold a brush. She was awarded a scholarship to study at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia at a young age, and continued with her passion receiving another scholarship to earn a BFA from Syracuse University. 


 


Business opportunities allowed Lauren to travel the country, providing exposure to some very influential art collections. She moved around various coastal towns before finding her home on Cape Cod. Her experiences offered a raw view of captivating landscapes, which piqued her interest in looking at water; the way it reflects and moves. These properties intrigued her and she became focused on both the subtle intricacies and the feeling as a whole that come from translucent objects and materials.


 


The interpretations of these properties are open and endless. They present not only a challenge, but an infinite array of visual layers of light and color. 


 


On the fundamental nature of her paintings, she says:              


 


"I want to explore translucent subjects by capturing the details that are not closely observed or appreciated - slightly exaggerating them to show the beautiful angle of sight they create in our everyday life.  When I focus in closely on a bottle, it's no longer simply a bottle – it becomes a mood and I feel a tangible sense of emotion and appreciation for the sheer beauty of the colors within the glass.  When I can get inside the actual glass, to me it feels like water.  Seeing through the glass gives an incredible feeling of depth and space.”


 


Lauren is known for her paintings involving glass and water.  Her work has been featured in galleries in Nantucket & Chatham, MA; Newport, RI; Stone Harbor, NJ; and Stuart, FL.  Currently, Lauren's entire collection of original pieces is showing exclusively in her own gallery, The Nines Art Gallery in Harwich Port, MA.
