Thank you to @taliesinthomas for the feature in @hyperallergic entitled “10 Exhibitions to See in Upstate New York This April.” The exhibition “Deirdire O’Connell: New Portraits” is currently on view at SEFA Hudson through April 26th. The Gallery is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11AM-5PM and by appointment. Please contact [email protected].
“Deirdre O’Connell: New Portraits” at Susan Eley Fine Art presents a series of gold-tinted portrayals of the artist’s friends and colleagues, including actors and writers. These images are both loving and candid in their representation of the sitters. In “Zoom 6: Nicole” (all works 2026), for example, a woman with a gorgeous floral headpiece and eyes closed, holds up her hand in a “stop” gesture. The squinted expression of “Bobby 3” and the billowing smoke cloud departing from his mouth suggest personal strife. In the “Dan 1-6” series, we see this same character making a variety of theatrical facial expressions. The only painting to present figures from behind, “Jenna, Banks Mateo and Lucy,” is a collaged work that features two women as they hold a child with antlers by the hand and lead him into water in a moment of graceful wandering. — Text by Taliesin Thomas

Opening Reception Now at SEFA Hudson!
SEFA Hudson is pleased to announce the exhibition “New Portraits” by Deirdre O’Connell. The artist will be present at the Gallery on Saturday from 4-6PM for a reception. This show of recent paintings is on view at SEFA Hudson (433 Warren Street) through April 26th. The Gallery will be open on Saturdays from 11AM-5PM and by appointment; please email [email protected] to schedule a visit.
“New Portraits” includes figure studies of O’Connell’s friends and colleagues—the characters within her daily life—writers, actors and more. These people are significant to her, deeply enmeshed in the New York City theater world. Yet, their decorative qualities endow them with a pure visual pleasure, able to be appreciated by all. In the “Zoom Meeting Portraits,” viewers are met with close-ups of the faces, expressions, gestures and interiors that O’Connell observed through her computer screen—translating these elements through her mixed-media techniques.

In “Where The Owl Soars,” Katharine Dufault presents landscapes shaped by memory, sensation and sustained encounters with the natural world—reimagined rather than recorded. These are not depictions of specific places, but invented terrains that emerge from lived experience and emotional resonance.
