She will celebrate her 80th birthday at a reception open to the public during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk, 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13 at Luminari Arts. The reception will feature her artwork in the show “Living on the Edge,” which relects her philosophy of living with one foot up in the air. From early childhood in a basement of a New York City brownstone, Remington has been creating art. Her irst memories are of World War II air raid sirens and her mother struggling to feed the family during the Great De- pression. But during that time she created her irst mural in her kindergarten classroom. She knew she was an artist. Adventure and study called her to travel. In Puerto Rico, Remington developed the sculptured painting medium style. Her use of sculpture and color explores the elusive connec- tion between the spiritual and physical art form. During an 11-year residen- cy in Spain, Remington stud- ied at the Esquela de Bellas Artes and opened a gallery in Barcelona during the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco. After his death, Remington sold paintings to the Duquesa de Villalba for the soon-to-be new King of Spain Juan Carlos. Remington lived as an avant-guarde artist. She trav- eled the world, spending time with climbers of Mt. Everest, learned lamenco dancing, and skied the major slopes. She owned a gallery on the Costa Brava in Spain and had annual shows in Madrid. But, constantly, she felt the urge to move. In San Francis- co she reestablished her art sales and studied with Frank Milner. She painted murals in Tahoe and Mendocino, California. In the 1980s, she established Uptown Gallery in Port Townsend, Washing- ton. Then it was on to Seattle. In 1996, Remington opened a home studio in Cannon Beach, inally mov- ing to Astoria in 2000. “This town has it all,” she says. “I always lived the life of an artist with the thought I would live hard and die young. I now realize that liv- ing hard can also mean living longer and dying harder. “But Astoria is a wonder- ful place to be for the last place I live. There is a peace here, and I no longer dream about where to go next. It is the irst time that I have felt I am home.”
