LIFEBRIDGE SANCTUARY

Lifebridge knows the artist's journey is as unique and individual as every brush stroke it takes to make a painting. That’s why they are especially pleased to present Lila Bacon’s installation of paintings – “For the Love of Flowers”. “You see and feel the wisdom and beauty in every stroke on Bacon’s canvases . I believe its obvious that Lila allows herself to be taken over by the process of creation.” – Says Kevin Kraft Director of Operations of the Lifebridge Foundation. He believes the maturation of an artist's technique and perspective is pure magic; a gift to be treasured and shared. Bacon’s work is effusive of beauty, wisdom and heart and is exactly why the Foundation has selected her work for this special installation.

Since 1992, the Lifebridge Foundation has been promoting the concept of the interconnectedness of all life and one humanity by providing grant support to more than 200 non-profit organizations. On September 1, 2005, Lifebridge Foundation opened the Lifebridge Sanctuary, a 12,000 square foot, green facility on 95 acres of forest on the Northern crest of the Shawangunk Ridge. The Sanctuary’s mission is to serve a wide variety of organizations by offering an affordable venue to stimulate cutting edge and forward looking conversations in an atmosphere of deep beauty, privacy and quiet; an environment that can help evoke the inspired ideas and actions that will change the world. The opening of the Lifebridge gallery is the Foundation’s latest effort to showcase artists who promote the concept of the interconnectedness of all life and one humanity in their work.

Lila Bacon

Lila Bacon is co-owner of SweetHeart Gallery. She has been a professional artist since graduating from Parsons School of Design / The New School.
We are pleased to represent some of her current fine art paintings.

ARTIST STATEMENT

"I am inspired by my visual life, and my own interpretation of it. I love describing space by placing emphasis on the world around an object rather than the object itself.
Paying attention to the relationships between objects allows me to truly view the object itself. It seems that whether I am painting a landscape, nude, or whatever, finding the pattern of the scene allows me to create an internal and external rhythm or breath in a piece".

Painting in the garden

"It is the act of working that I truly am in love with, rather than the product. I find the ego involved judgments that I make outside of the creating, only tend to get in my way, whether it is to like or dislike the final product".

BIOGRAPHY:

She graduated from Parsons School of Design/The New School in 1973, and moved to Woodstock, N.Y. She was part of a three person show at the Woodstock Artists Association, studied with noted teacher and artist Nicholas Buhalis, who had the uncanny ability to not only give her more “tools of the trade”, but, even more importantly, the confidence to keep creating. Buhalis had sponsored a show of Bacon’s work at the Buhalis Gallery, in Kingston, N. Y.
Bacon now shows and sells her work, exclusively, at the Sweetheart Gallery in Woodstock, N. Y. which she co-owns with husband and artist Norman Bacon. When asked about being an artist, Bacon says: “Making art has always been an integral part of my life. From the time I was a child, I knew it was a tool, a way of channeling the world around me through my vision. I always felt extremely lucky and blessed to have this friend, this lucky penny in my back pocket, this drive to guide me along the road of my life.”
