Lush, seductive and slippery, Connie Noyes has
been painting about detritus with detritus and
the art transcends its materials.
Mundane materials.
Elegant surfaces. Dynamic relationships.
Bigger issues than art for art sake.
There is effort in the work to be
a part of something larger than oneself,
to reach out and use
art as a tool, a vehicle for
communication and innovation, a
statement for augmenting one’s consciousness.
-Paul Klein, 2008
Born in Washington D.C., Noyes currently lives and
works as a full time artist in Chicago. She received
her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
and MA degree in Psychology from Notre Dame de
Namur University in Belmont California. Having moved
42 times in her life, she considers herself a 21st
Century nomad.
Through the combination of study, travel and
geographical
faux pas, Noyes has developed an interest in the
unconscious psychology of culture; and how art
can support dialog and bypass cultural differences.
Noyes’ interest and experience of global culture has
been supported through sponsors in a variety of
prestigious international artist’s residencies and
symposiums, including the
Emaar International Art Symposium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2005),
Thupelo International Workshop in Cape Town, South Africa (2005),
The 6th Annual International Symposium of Art in Bulgaria (2006).
The 5th International Visual Arts Symposium in Monastir, Tunisia (2007) and
in 2008 was a participant in the
Visual Arts Festival in Montenegro
sponsored by the Association of Fine Arts
Belgrade-Serbia and Montenegro.
She is also an active member of the international
abstract painters group Pintura Fresca.
