September 2026 Art Exhibit

Landscapes in my Mind
Paintings by Michael Amato

Throughout September in the Martucci Gallery and Program Room

Landscapes in My Mind is an exhibition of fifteen oil paintings on canvas that draw from the artist’s love of the environment and admiration for nature’s vibrant colors and textures. The impressionist works in this series offer an insight into the artist’s imagining of landscapes observed in his early life, as well as those inspired by famous works. Some images draw from the artist’s scenic memories of life in the surroundings of his family home on the Hudson River. In this beautiful environment surrounded by mountains, water and trees, the artist found great inspiration for his works. Other landscapes were inspired by famous works that the artist has studied, particularly those of Van Gogh and Gauguin. The artist uses technique and vivid color to communicate feelings of joy and gratitude, which he hopes will influence a greater understanding of environmental change.
