I’m compelled to try to tell everyone out here to, if you can, go see an art show.

Hampton Bays resident Helen Giaquinto is showing her work. And it is simply the best. She is a living master artist. Her life of over eight decades includes mastery in art in advertising design (Madison Avenue), illustration (national publications), and what we love here the most: her fine art paintings that have been, for decades, shown at the Southampton Artists Association and other shows. This is a chance to see her in a solo show — all her art.

It’s at The Gallery in the Water Mill Museum on Old Mill Road in Water Mill. Opening on Thursday, September 19, closing September 29.

I’m an artist. Helen has lifted up so many of us artists with her sheer, simple excellence. A rare chance to see really fine art right here in Water Mill. I hope many will turn out and be inspired by Helen’s show.

“Less Is More” is the name of the show, “Simplicity in Line, Shape and Color.”
