About Addie Hocynec...
Known for her vibrant, richly colored landscapes

flowing and imaginative, charged with spontaneity and energy. Her landscapes are
meditations on the subtler aspects of nature and the seductive power of light ,
color and texture. She works in a variety of media including dyes on silk,
pastels , oils and acrylics. Her fascination with color
and all its nuances is a driving force for her work.
