"Coastal Beauty" Jeanne Tangney Solo Exhibition at Hammetts

Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design is pleased to announce another exciting collaboration with Hammetts Hotel in Newport, RI. Jeanne Tangney "Coastal Beauty" will open at the Hammetts Hotel’s Sarah Langley Gallery on Thursday, April 3. Working at an intimate scale, Newport artist Jeanne Tangney is captivated by the effects of light. In Coastal Beauty she simplifies what she sees by distilling visual elements of Newport’s natural beauty into abstract shapes which she then gradually develops into representational images. But her paintings far transcend technique and literal realism. They capture the artist’s profound observation of her subject and result in a heightened reflection of the grandeur that surrounds us. Tangney graduated from Rhode Island College earning a BA in Painting and a BS in Art Education. While pursuing a full-time career in fields ranging from cartography to IT security, Jeanne continued to cultivate her artistic skills. She has been recognized as an Eminent Pastelist by the International Association of Pastel Societies and Master Pastelist by the Pastel Society of America.

“Jeanne Tangney has been showing with my gallery for over ten years,” states Jessica Hagen, “and I am thrilled to be exhibiting her work at Hammetts Hotel. Jeanne is absolutely devoted to her craft, and this devotion not only shows in the work itself, but also in the many awards that she has received. The show at Hammetts Hotel will be very special.” Jeanne Tangney "Coastal Beauty" closes on June 1, 2025.
