NORWICH – NBT Bank’s Wall of Art is featuring the artwork of Charlene Walling at the bank’s Norwich Office on South Broad Street. Her work will be on display until late October.

Walling specializes in plein air (“open air”) paintings based on Chenango County’s countryside. The technique involves painting outdoors. “I grew up in the country, and I identify best with nature,” she said. “I see design, color, light and shadows in everything around me.”

For its Wall of Art, NBT Bank is partnering with the Chenango County Council of the Arts to highlight the creativity of area residents. Council Executive Director Victoria Kappel said: “Charlene’s plein air method involves capturing a scene as she directly observes it. Whether it’s a field of bright-red flowers or a quiet pond, her work allows you to see nature with an artist’s eye.”
