Media Loft
Media Loft, founded in 1978, was established to provide a unique
working environment for artists, designers, craftsmen and a variety
of art-related businesses. In 1983 it moved to its present site in
the historic Knickerbocker Press building complex and expanded to create
affordable live-work space for its artist community.
In 2003, Media Loft converted to an Artist’s in Residence Condominium
offering, in addition to affordable space, the security of ownership.
Committed to creating innovative live-work spaces for both emerging
and established artists -- along with shared resources
and collaborative opportunities -- it takes a leadership role in the
Westchester arts community. Here, artists are able to shape their spaces
to support both their work and their individual lifestyles.
Media Loft Gallery
An Alternative Space for Emerging Artists
The Gallery at Media Loft has been established to provide exhibit
space for the Artist's in Residence as well as for emerging artists
from the community and beyond. We are committed to quality
exhibits, providing guidance to new artists for installations,
promotional opportunities and, in general, how to bring their work
to public attention.

Re-Interpreting the Landscape
Collage/Paintins/Works on Paper
LIZ FAY / LINDA IPPOLITO
June 20-August 30, 2009
Reception
June 20, 2009 3-7 pm
The works of Liz Fay and Linda Ippolito are the most appropriate welcome to the summer season. Full of texture and color, the rich landscapes speak to us of the “drama of the environment”. Ippolito, who lives and works in Montclair, NJ, is a graduate of Pratt Institute. She has exhibited widely in the New York metropolitan area and is known for her plein air landscapes. “Painting for me is a spiritual and physical exploration. It is my goal to translate my relationship to the landscape and bring the essence of the landscape to the viewer.” This philosophy is clearly and dramatically demonstrated in her works on paper, oil on fabric and hand-made papers as well as encaustics on 3 dimensional canvases.
Fay, a graduate of the City College of New York with advanced degrees in design and painting from Hunter College and New York University, has studied with Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell. Her work has been exhibited in several one-woman shows including the Silvermine Gallery in Connecticut and Hunter Art Gallery in NYC. Her work dramatically reflects her “reaction to color in Nature”. Her richly textural collage and oil pastels take us an adventure in Color!.
