ERNEE WAY

Ernee Way describes herself as a contemporary impressionist whose love of light, color and movement is at the heart of all her work. A native of Savannah, Georgia, she feels completely in tune with the coastal beauty of New England. Marshes, dunes and inland rivers are frequently the subjects of her paintings.

She states, "A painting filled with sunshine gladdens the spirit, for sunshine is the laughter of nature."

A painter with over 40 years of art experience, Ernee began art training at the age of nine in private instruction. She studied art at the University of Georgia, the Montserrat School of Visual Art and enjoyed six years of training with Copley Master Robert Scott Jackson.

Ernee's paintings have been shown at the Society of Master Impressionists, Taos, NM; the Salmagundi Club, New York; the Hudson Valley Art Association, White Plains, New York; the Catherine Lorillard Art Club, New York; the North Shore Arts Association, Gloucester;  the Newburyport Art Association, Newburyport; in Boston through the Copley Society; throughout the North Shore in one artist shows and in exhibitions winning many awards for her.
