Ivy Stevens-Gupta standing in front of her one of her paintings “Sea of Possibilities” at Empire State College’s Creative Continuum at the Community School of Music. Exhibit opening night was Friday, February 3, 2012. Many thanks to Laurie Seamans at ESC for helping to organize this event for current students and alumni of ESC.

Below is a link to the Saturday, November 5th edition of the Star-Gazette stating that I won the 2011 ESC poster art competition.

Just finished another patchwork painting with 324 individually designed squares on an 18″ × 18″ canvas. Turned out even better than the original one. What a painstaking process. Each one inch square has multiple layers of acrylic paint before the actual design process even begins. I am currently working on a large patchwork painting for CSMA’s Arts for All Marathon. The color scheme is a vibrant mix of blues and greens. Each square is being sponsored for $20 and I hope to raise at least $1000 for the school and our community.

Just finished painting my latest patchwork painting series—with golds, purples, and greens. Still need to apply varnish to the painting and do final touches. This one is 12″ × 36″.

Started 3 new paintings today. One is a commission based on my patchwork paintings series—using gold, purple, dark green, and yellow for inspiration—client also wants a galaxy abstract feel. The second painting is an abstract landscape. The third painting is a geometrical interpretation of a recent stained glass that focuses on vibrant shades of red. Watch for pics of my paintings in progress…
