Harvey has been hailed as one of the great new painters of the American landscape, a news release says. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest and it has been chosen "for some of the most important corporate collections in the nation," the release says. The Floridita by Pablo Soria. Contributed photo The artist, who is from upper New York state, "paints the tree-filled landscapes she has known from childhood, imbuing them with a nostalgic, dreamlike quality that renders them extraordinary," the release adds. From his Ruskin studio overlooking Little Manatee River, Marsh creates both large-scale photorealistic oil paintings and more loosely rendered watercolor studies, the release continues. His works hang in museums and corporate collections around the state, including Sarasota's Ringling Museum; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Fine Art in St. Petersburg; Tampa Museum of Art; and the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland.
