New York hotels discovered eons ago that empty walls and fine art go together like poached eggs and Hollandaise. Consider the Audubon and Piranesi prints in the Carlyle guest rooms. Or the contemporary art by one-time residents like Larry Rivers and Susan Olmetti blanketing the Chelsea Hotel lobby.

The Examiner Article - Super expressionistic new series

 

"The Outdoor Girls" is one installment of a three-part collection called
"Brothers and Sisters and Bubbles", which also includes the photographic
self-portrait series "Definitions of the Force of Life and Sexuality," and
"Gusts of Reality," a painting, performance and music tribute to Olmetti's
late father, Joseph Michael Olmetti, with musician Tyrone Noonan.

"The Outdoor Girls" series consist of eleven avatars designed by Olmetti,
who says that each "Girl" in the series is an interpretation of the
independent spirit of women. "The 'Girls' demonstrate a theme that runs
through much of my work: Love without faith forms a dying flower. They
are very much thriving, and so they are embodiments of the combined force
of love and faith," comments Olmetti.

Accompanying the premiere of the paintings will be a live, one-time
performance featuring eleven women in a candlelight procession. Each woman
will wear a unique piece of clothing hand-embroidered by Olmetti.

My main mission is to display the true spirit of general philanthropy to
give to others the confidence and support in their personal and
professional dreams.

My goal is to overcome all adversity that has come into my life as I am
sure many of you have experienced.

In the words of Winston Churchill, "Never give up"!

And in that faith, He keeps me sane - his password and his sign.
