Artist Statement for Ellen Rosenberg
|
|
|
Ellen S Rosenberg spent her girlhood on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, a small town called Salisbury Maryland. She later earned her degree in Art Advertising from the University of Maryland. A second degree followed from the Temple University School of Allied Health in Occupational Therapy.
She has been juried into the National Association of Women Artists. Her work has been shown in over 50 juried international art shows, as well as invitational and solo exhibitions. She is also a free-lance photographer for Jazz Improv magazine.
All of Ellen’s work is printed in her studio on fiber-based archival paper.
“I grew up during the time of Brownie cameras, black and white family portraits and memories of childhood preserved on by faded 3x 5 snapshots hidden away in a shoebox, only to be viewed during family holidays. As a teenager, I often hid away in my room, painting, drawing with charcoal, frequently copying the images from old family photographs.
As I pursued dueled careers in motherhood and healthcare, I put down the paintbrush and channeled my passion for creativity into other more practical venues. Until I saw a documentary on Jackson Pollock. I was struck by his intense drive to create, so foreboding that it destroyed him. But a spark was ignited within me once again.
Being the practical person, I took up photography, naively believing this “type of art’ would make me less vulnerable, yet still allowing for a creative outlet. I was happily mistaken.
Over the years, I have discovered that photography and the challenge of creating art with film, reflections of light and a simple camera and lens is a way of communicating my innermost thoughts and my personal reflection of the world we live in.”
Although these photographs represent a moment in time, I hope they reflect a timelessness of our past, present and future.
