Artist Statement:
A Zen proverb: “When the
student is ready, the teacher
will come.” I returned to art
class several years ago after
a long hiatus during which I
was busy with family and work.
Studying with Judy Schaefer,
an accomplished artist, has
been my good fortune. In
addition, I studied with the
late Carol Stronghilos and
with Jennifer Mazza and Amy
Robinson at the Art Center at
Old Church in Demarest, NJ.
Since then, exploring the
possibilities of a “visual
dance in space” is my ongoing
pursuit. Using acrylic paint
and a variety of other media
in these explorations, I
strive to create art that
evokes movement, vitality, and
enthusiasm.
My dance in space is a
holistic endeavor. For
example, years ago when I was
in college, I participated in
a Master Class with modern
dance choreographer, Alwin
Nicolais. After some warm-ups,
Nicolais asked us to explore
an interesting position using
the “personal space” where we
were standing. I quickly
dropped to the floor, twisted
into a pretzel-like pose and
was surprised when he directed
the group’s attention to me.
He asked me, “given the
position you are in, how would
you now move?”
I lifted an arm...
