Rhythms of a Northern Town

PHOTO: PETER VON GAZA

While Rhythms of a Northern Town is dynamic and full of action, Parenteau toned down the mood for Our Seasons, Our Stories, the large mural she created for the atrium of the Whistle Bend Continuing Care facility. Filled with sweet critters and gentle folks, this beautiful work exudes kindness and peace.

When creating public art, she imagines what her audience will

respond to and what will appeal to them emotionally.

“Art is the language of the emotions,” she asserted

As an artist, Parenteau has never been particularly drawn to realism. She is more interested in being faithful to her inner vision and responding directly to her creative instincts.

“I want it to come strictly from my guiding light,” she explained. “That’s been working well for me.”

Parenteau has never had a teacher, never gone to art school. She does, however, like to visit museums and study the work of other artists. She will observe paintings closely and try to fi gure out how the artists accomplished them and what decisions they made. And then she likes to return to her studio and explore new techniques and approaches. “Some visions that I’ve had, I’ve never expressed them,” she said. “Now is the time to give them priority.” One piece that she painted, in response to these visions, is more abstract and expressionistic. Breathless Approach is a shattered glacial landscape devoid of any of her beloved “critters.” But it’s typical of her previous work in that it’s full of dynamism and movement.

Her latest visions are of “things that have no boundaries.” The abstract pieces are more challenging for the viewer and require “kind of a leap of faith” on Parenteau’s part, to bring them into being. Still, she feels a responsibility to bring them into the world.

“I feel like there’s a momentum inside. I also feel like the ideas come from somewhere else. I feel like I’m the ‘hired help.’”

Because her impulse to create seems to come from a greater force, Parenteau has confi dence in her ability to accomplish large-scale public projects, as well as more-challenging abstract pieces.

“The design itself is where the energy is,” she said. “I never doubt it.”
