Artist Statement
Puiatti paints atmospheric landscapes inspired by the many places where she has traveled and lived. Her favorite locales are the beaches and marshes of the Northeast, the Hudson River Valley fields and mountains and the big sky flatlands and farms of Belgium, the Netherlands and France where she lived abroad for ten years.
Puiatti is prolific and hundreds of her contemporary landscape paintings have been collected nationally and internationally by private collectors. Her paintings have been the subject of interviews and articles in the Hudson Valley, Boston Globe, Family Circle magazine and beyond. She paints the landscape with cold wax and oil on canvas in a sort of sfumato, or soft focus style, deliberately not focusing on details and minutia. As a result, the viewer is invited to feel the place and make it their own familiar memory or dream.
Her paintings hang in private and public collections throughout the US, Europe, Australia and Africa.
