“The Sun is Up,” collected art by Fatima Young, is on display at Eleven Winery (287 Winslow Way East) in downtown Winslow throughout the month of September.

This show, the artist said, was the result of love, loss, grief and then finding light once more.

Young remembered her young son waking everyone early shouting, “Get up! Get up! The sun’s up.” After a dark period following the loss of her precious husband, there was re-awakening for Young.

Getting up again showed her that the light can come back. It is reflected in this, her new body of work. Young spent time here on Bainbridge healing, and therefore wanted to share her work with the people of her town.

In the tradition of certain Impressionists, Young paints with the palette knife. She adds bold color and captures the earth’s rich moods through the use of light and dark.

Young was born in Europe. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from C.W. Post University in New York. After a 25 year hiatus — raising her son and making a career in the magazine publishing field — Young returned to her love of oil painting.

There will be a special opening night reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2, during the monthly First Friday Art Walk.
