Autobiography
of Iona Munteanu Ramnic – Artist Pasteliste
I was born in Bucharest,
Romania and thirty years ago I came to Queens, NY. Fifteen years ago, my husband
and I moved to upstate New York. We built a house, admired nature, and hiked the
surrounding mountains.
In Romania, I grew up under the
artistic influence of Anca and Stefan Serbanescu, my aunt and uncle, who were
both famous and recognized painters in Romania and Europe.
I always wanted to follow my
aunt and uncle’s career, but economic constraints forced me to study and work
in engineering. My parents in Romania always loved nature, hiking, and camping.
I still love nature and I continue to enjoy my artistic hobbies: photography,
drawing, and painting.
This year, I retired at sixty
five. I have completely dedicated my time exploring the Hudson River region, the
Catskill Mountains and my artistic hobbies. I’ve discovered that drawing with
pastels suites my personality and passion. My pastels are inspired by the
surrounding environment.
I
would like to share this passion for nature and art with other art lovers.
