Artists abound at Kendal on Hudson. Whatever the medium: painting, drawing, fabric arts, photography, sculpture, or collage. Whether they are professionals in their fields or amateurs in off-hours. Trained, self-taught, or a little of both: they abound. We admire — even envy — them each time a new art show is launched, as it will be come late January 2024.
In the arena of trained professional, there is Renata Rainer, who both trained with and shared professional experiences with the likes of Ansel Adams. Her field has primarily been photography — though she’s also a painter. In 1975, along with teaching and exhibitions, she founded The Ground Glass, an independent association dedicated to promoting the practice and appreciation of fine photography in Westchester and Fairfield counties.
And she will be one of the artists shown in the KoH 2024 Winter Art Show. To whet your interest in her art — and (we admit) in the show, in general — here are a few examples of her work (including a few paintings!).
