Regina Ottman: Pigment & Pitch

June 11-July 27

Artist Bio

Artist Regina Ottman was born with absolute pitch and chromesthesia (sound-to-color synesthesia), the ability to "hear colors." Her abstract paintings explore musical keys, tempi, rhythms, patterns and moods. As she investigates varieties of musical palettes and textures, she uses a variety of media and techniques to express how she sees/hears. As a classically trained musician, Ottman draws on her concert experiences to inform her current work. She is inspired by the patterns, colors and textures in music and in the natural world. She is curious about the way opposites inform and balance each other, and how these tensions find space on a two-dimensional surface. Her work has appeared in shows throughout the northeastern United States, including Cerulean Arts Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), the Philadelphia Sketch Club, The Plastic Club (Philadelphia, PA), Loft Artists Association (Stamford, CT), the annual Ellerslie Open at Trenton Museum of Art (Trenton, NJ), Perkins Center for the Arts Annual Juried Exhibits (Moorestown, NJ) and Tri State Artists Equity (PA/NJ/DE).  Her paintings, drawings, prints and encaustics hang in private collections throughout the eastern United States, including such widely varied spots as the Cooper Cancer Center in Camden, NJ, the office of the president of Camden County College in Blackwood, NJ, a Center for Family Services safe house, and on a community wall mural at Twisted Tatt2 in Camden, NJ (featured on Spike TV's Tattoo Rescue.). She is represented by Cerulean Arts Gallery, Philadelphia, and lives in historic Laurel Springs, NJ

“What was any art but a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.” –Willa Cather
