Wynn Creasy’s Summary

Wynn Creasy, a Landscape Artist known for her passionate landscapes of the Virginia country side, her use of intense color to recreate the vistas of her childhood in Virginia.

Wynn attended James Madison University, but dropped out of school to pursue her love of dance and musical theatre. She received a scholarship to attend Virginia Commonwealth University. She graduated in 1984, B.A. in Vocal Performance. As a scholarship student of the Blossom Festival School (Cleveland Orchestra) she came worked under noted instructors Martin Katz, Jay Lessenger, Marlene Malas. She had a scholarship to the Hartt School of Music where she was groomed by Adelaide Bishop, head of the Opera Program.
After finishing her Artist Diploma at Hartt, Wynn was accepted as a member of the Apprentice Program for Singers; Santa Fe Opera, and landed a contract as Resident Artist with the Connecticut Opera in Hartford, CT. Her career included stints with opera companies and symphonies across the US. She sang professionally for the Washington Opera until 1993. At which time she retired to devote herself full-time to her painting career.
Her art work has been praised as
"...through subtle shadings and layerings of contrasting and complementary hues and values. Her palette of colors and shadings seems unlimited particularly in her larger scale works. Yet, she avoids the trap of relying solely on colors for appeal. In many pieces the colors are not necessarily the real colors of nature. Creasy seems able to mix the colors of the seasons across the seasons and that gives her work a timeless quality not often defined in landscapes."
The strength of her compositions is often the way vertical forms, notably trees, arise from horizontal plateaus. Many of her pieces tie in a mysterious road to nowhere which both competes with and enhances the focal points of the works. "
