Gallery to present paintings by Jean M. Tyson

GILBERTSVILLE – The Hilton Bloom Art Studio is opening its tenth season with a solo exhibit of the paintings of Jean M. Tyson, titled “Return of the Native.” The exhibit will open with a reception on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.. The public is welcome to attend this opening reception and meet the artist. The exhibit will be on view until Saturday, July 12.
 This exhibit re-introduces this accomplished artist to the local community. Jean M. Tyson is a native of Unadilla, and relocated back to the area to Gilbertsville in 2006 after 25 years in Florida. Jean graduated from Unatego High School. She earned a B.S. in Education at the University of Pennsylvania at Edinboro, and went on to attend the State University College at Oneonta. She has taught art in the Unatego, Mt. Upton, and Cherry Valley school districts, as well as Hartwick College.
 Jean and her husband, Wayne Tyson, owned Tyson Trading Co., art and antique galleries, for 30 years in Florida, New York and Georgia. Jean’s work is best known in the South, where she has exhibited in such prestigious venues as the Carolina Gallery in South Carolina, and the following galleries in Florida: A.E. Backus Museum and Gallery, H. Allen Holmes, Inc., Arts Alliance of North Florida, Florida’s Eden, The Webber Center Gallery, and the Orlando Airport. Her works have been published in Cosmopolitan magazine, The Artist Magazine, and guidebooks for the Wm. Bartrum Trail, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park and the Wekiva State Park.
Tyson paints with pure pigment in linseed oil applied with a palette knife, mixing the colors on the canvas. By painting outdoors in front of the subject, Jean captures a sense of place and mood in her impressionistic work.
The studio will continue to have a small selection of antiques for sale. This season, the studio will debut hand-made art cards by another returned native, Alicia Pagano of Unadilla.
The Hilton Bloom Art Studio, located at 24 Bloom Street in Gilbertsville, will be open Thursday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. It is open other times by chance or appointment by calling 783-2779. The studio is handicapped accessible, and there is parking available on Hilton Street.
To get there: take State Highway 51 to Gilbertsville, turn at The Major’s Inn, bear left at the monument to Bloom Street, right on Hilton Street. The studio is in a grey barn on the right.
