Description

Light Painting Artist and Rocky Point resident, Alina Wilczynski invites you to explore the idea that every action, thought and imagining — in the form of energy, light and color — leaves a trail of its existence, its expansion over time and its intertwining with every other action, thought and imagining.

A featured project in the exhibit is the “1901 E. Brush Shipwreck Light Painting” that occurred on the beach at Hallock Landing in Rocky Point. The idea to invite the public to help “unearth” the 60-foot schooner with light came to fruition in the Fall of 2025 in partnership with the Rocky Point Historical Society. It is further coordinated with the library display case featuring actual timbers recovered from the Shipwreck.

OPENING RECEPTION 

You are invited you to be part of a mesmerizing interactive art experience. Whether just curious or a creative thrill-seeker, this is your chance to learn the secrets behind ‘painting’ the night with light, color, movement and your wildest imagination. Family friendly for all ages and abilities. 

Alina Wilczynski is an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Farmingdale State College (SUNY) and a Teaching Artist developing custom residency programs at middle and high schools across Long Island. Blending traditional camera work with modern light tools, video- and sound-interactive software and projection, Wilczynski loves inviting others, including visual and performing artists, historians, environmentalists, multi-lingual learners of all ages and abilities (and sometimes the unsuspecting public) to be part of mind-blowing immersive art experiences.
