<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This exhibition covers a wide cross section of work including gestural abstraction, reductive minimalism, abstract figurative painting and sculptural installations. The art in the exhibition includes paintings using complex color structure along side monochromatic palettes that work together well as a whole. Delicate passages contrast robust physical surfaces playing together to create a dialogue much like a musical ensemble works with contrasting musicians. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each artist in the exhibition has created work reflective of their involvement with process and materials.</span></div>

This will be a fast pace demo introducing or refreshing you to some of my favorite materials in the studio when I begin to build surfaces for my paintings and works on paper. We will go over approaching a blank canvas, mark-making, working wet on wet, and mono printing using water media and oil. I will introduce tools and methods to add and subtract paint and marks. Opacity and transparent, warm and cool and layering will be addressed. I will also include work in process that are dry to demonstrate what happens next.</div>

I can't believe I am here again. The first time I focused on the blog was right after I quit my job waitressing about ten years ago. (Yes, I waited tables for way too many years while I/We raised our kids and made art. )<br />
After quitting I gave myself a year to get something going.<br />
I focused my energy on painting, teaching and doing workshops and blogging.<br />
I always enjoyed writing about my process, thoughts, and featuring other artists.<br />
And the social media happened and I lost interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Now we are in such a strange place of isolation.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have lots to say about what's happening but need more coffee. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile I would like to plug this video that I made a while ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It for sale for 60.00 until April 10 when the price will go up.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">“Impermanence is the very fragrance of our days” is Rainer Maria Rilke’s elegant way of speaking about inevitable change, something that has threaded its way through my work from the beginning. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While at the MacDowell Colony in NH some years ago I noticed a large pod of <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">something on my porch wall. It slowly unfurled into luminous green wings with <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">black spots and dried off in the sun. A lunar moth. It went off for its day of living <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I went off to work. Several years later I was making paintings with black dots<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and several years after that I learned about luminosity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After absorbing luminosity I found myself sitting bored for two weeks at the Ragdale Colony in IL. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing was worth doing. My eyes rested finally on <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the gray work table in front of me and I noticed the marks and <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">dots and stray blobs left by other colonists. I started copying them and before <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the six weeks were over I had evolved into the dot patterns that continue <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to energize my compositions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Composition is the name of the game for me: mass, pattern, line, color, </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">and value with movement given priority. I set up a problem by scattering elements <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But I can’t really think of anything as ‘ordinary’ because I’m not sure what that means. Ordinary?<br /><br /><br />Unexpected moods or shapes or combinations of form leap out from every direction, but if I’m distracted by so called ‘real life’ stuff, then I usually miss the ravishing assault of say, a fleeting moment like walking into Carpenters Woods in the morning with my dog, on a cold, cloudy February day and the visual unity of the entire place is the color of a macchiato with a lot of milk and it feels like an all enveloping, sensuous operatic stage set. If I’m thinking about how low my bank account is, I miss it. So I try to live in denial.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-INEBqvc2Ff8/WpB_8Zk4pVI/AAAAAAAAFcE/1Ni9nYobAt8vR62yg9mba1OlRWGNObleACK4BGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_3259.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-INEBqvc2Ff8/WpB_8Zk4pVI/AAAAAAAAFcE/1Ni9nYobAt8vR62yg9mba1OlRWGNObleACK4BGAYYCw/s640/IMG_3259.jpg" /></a> <br />1979, two days in Kabul visiting an old friend<br />acrylic, collage, paper, graphite<br />12x21 inches, 2017<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Personal History</b><br /><br /><br />I came to the visual arts very slowly and in a way that was totally unexpected and later than usual. And I was kind of a shocked when it happened. <br /><br />My grandfather received his Rabbinic ordination before leaving Russia in 1919 and we were a very close family, and he had a beautifully resonant and soulful voice and loved music and often played records and sang when I was at his apartment. <br /><br />While quite young I was very influenced by liturgical music and sound in general. My parents had lots of records in the house – Broadway shows, Shubert, Opera, Paul Robeson, Beethoven and such and I had my own small record player as a kid and music always made a lot of sense and was all through my teems, my primary obsession, both as a player and as a listener. <br /><br />I discovered the ‘underground’ at around 12 years old via an important underground radio station in Philadelphia, and began listening to and playing folk music and rock and roll and looking at (which is different from reading) things like the Evergreen Review and magazines that had a lot of visual content. Graphics and images were very high profile in the 60’s in both literary and musical culture.<br /><br />Also, I grew up on the edge of Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia, an area full of exquisitely romantic Lutyens influenced architecture, and the meanings of and presences of architectural form played a huge roll in the development of my visual and emotional imaginations. <br /><br /><br />My parents were both children of eastern European immigrants and we were not financially or culturally secure so a life in the visual arts was not something that for any of us was even a remote conceptual possibility. <br /><br /><br />However, my uncle Zev was a photographer and his fascination with the camera had significant impact on me very early on and after a certain age I always had a camera around. And he’s the one who told me, if you want to be a photographer than you have to go to art school to learn how to see. I was intrigued by this idea of what ‘seeing’ was.<br /><br /><br />Getting there was an adventure and of course met with a lot of familial resistance, and I took a circuitous and improvisational educational path before arriving in 1977 at the art school now called PAFA, what we used to call The Academy. And I stayed for 5 years, it was an extraordinary experience and just what I needed. Before that I went to architecture school for a few years, and also studied literature and art history and, did several years of night school for commercial design. In total, I was in school for 10 ½ years but have no actual ‘degree’.<br /><br />Also, when I graduated high school I traveled in Europe and Israel alone, and I was very impressionable visually, in all the best senses and this trip introduced my imagination to the beauties and possibilities of travel as a portal to something else.<br /><br /><br />As a teenager and young adult, I spent a lot of time in the outdoors hitch hiking, hiking and backpacking in places like the White Mountains, Canadian Rockies and Cape Breton, and was very influenced by people like Muir, Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman. In college, poets like Wallace Stevens and Wordsworth were so important for me. Wordsworth opened huge worlds that connected me to Turner, Constable and Samuel Palmer. <br /><br /><br />In my first year at college I had the painter Lee Hall for art history and she taught in a way that was object oriented and not academic chronological. And we were very close to New York and I often took the Erie Lackawanna in to go to the MET to do research for papers. The process of sustained looking at paintings really took my head like a kite in the wind, although it was still years before arriving at art school. <br /><br /><br /><br /><b>5 artsts who turn me on and why</b><br /><br /><br />This past year I saw an exhibition of the ceramic artist Stanley Rosen at steven harvey fine art projects in New York and the show knocked me out. They were on the one hand, very modest in size, but at the same time carried an enormous, uncanny power and each one seemed to project an unusual sense of emotional vulnerability.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/413065/stanley-rosen-beginnings-steven-harvey-fine-art-projects-2017/">https://hyperallergic.com/413065/stanley-rosen-beginnings-steven-harvey-fine-art-projects-2017/</a> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I have always been fascinated by the drawings of Emily Nelligan. In an art world so full of big, noise, arrogance and pretension, her charcoal drawings on 8 ½ x 11 inch pieces of paper are feasts for the visual imagination and their grip is often so strong that I don’t want to turn away from them.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/30/arts/art-architecture-a-landscape-that-carries-a-life-s-worth-of-emotion.html <br /><br /><br /><br />The work of the English artist Roger Ackling has been of great interest to me since the late 90’s. Here is a guy who sat outside in the sun, burning with magnifying lenses, small marks into found wood from the beach. He wasn’t painting but then again he was or was it sculpture? With Acking there is a Zen like simplicity that at the same time is ironically complex and reminds us of how it’s not about the materials per se as much as how they are handled bty the shape of thought.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/jun/19/roger-ackling">https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/jun/19/roger-ackling</a><br /><br /> <br /><br />The still life paintings of Susan Jane Walp are for me some of the most wonderful contemporary paintings. I am constantly surprised by what she introduces into an approximately 9x9 inch canvas and talk about an extreme and diverse sense of touch. The variation in how the surfaces are handled and how they carry the viewer’s eye, offers the kind of surprise and discovery that are equivalent in a way to the unexpected literary delights we encounter when reading Wallace Stevens. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/243546/beer-with-a-painter-susan-jane-walp/">https://hyperallergic.com/243546/beer-with-a-painter-susan-jane-walp/</a> <br /><br /><br /><br />I have a young friend named Saranoa Mark , she lives in Chicago and is making beautiful and evocative work and I’m intrigued by how she thinks about materials and what her hands do with whatever she’s examining.<br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.saranoamark.com/">http://www.saranoamark.com</a><br /> <br /><br /><b><br />what thoughts do I have to turn off in the studio?</b><br /><br />Ha, ha, ha, almost all of them. I have carved above the entrance: ‘don’t think’. But the first thoughts I try to turn off are those related to any sense of right and wrong, to other people’s thoughts, to the art world, to what ‘worked’ in the past and, I try to banish any thoughts related to achievement other than simply getting dug in and lost as quickly as possible. Being lost is at this point in my life so important. As I begin work it’s a process of removing all of those thought impediments that are really like toxic waste, by engaging as directly as possible with the process of feeling whatever it is I’m trying to do and by letting the emerging structure of the work inhabit my imagination so that I forget everything else. These days I’m standing over a very wide table and the extended looking down on the work at hand and using my hands on it as much as possible helps to laminate the emerging train of form thoughts about shapes, colors, lines and mood, onto and into my brain which is what I need if I’m going to let it take me away from what I already know. <br /><br /><br /><br /><b><br />What do I see from the studio window?</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My studio windows are such important companions while I’m in those rooms, much more important for me than listening to NPR. I could write pages about that relationship but really it all exists day to day beyond words and I prefer to live while in there, beyond words. In the primary working space there are four windows, each quite different. almost like four children in a family each with her and his own independent profile. Wherever and whenever I’m looking it’s never the same, depending on the light, the weather, the density of the air, where I’m standing in the room and what my own mood is in the moment. And I love all that variation and it keeps me alive in many ways. Windows have always been like vast portals, almost like reading very deep and hypnotic literature.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />I remember an apocryphal story from 1974 when I was doing an influential summer program at PCA in Philly (now UARTS), and while studying with Doris Stafel I really began understanding seeing. I was also living with my folks that summer and late one afternoon I was sitting in my room, gazing with my eyes out the window and luxuriating in a recently emerging engagement with the visual world. And my mother came in and asked what I was doing. This was the 70's and there was a lot of contention in every direction and we were not doing so well generationally. And I said, I'm looking out the window and she said, looking out the window, that's it? Is something wrong? How could i explain to my dear mother that nothing was wrong, but to the contrary, that everything was right.<br /><br /><br /> Windows have been a refuge and salvation for me during my entire life. On all the early report cards from elementary school, repeatedly the teachers wrote, ‘he sits and looks out the window’. Well what did they expect, what was going on in the classroom was deadly boring. So my Mom saw the pattern and was worried about me, but couldn’t really appreciate what splendor and opportunity I had access to through the windows, and still do.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </span></div>

<b><br />What inspires you, your work, makes the hair on your neck go up?</b><br />
<br />
Philosophically, I’ve been inspired by the examination of perceptions. I’m interested in how thoughts are manufactured; why some “stick” and make up a sense of identity while others drift away; what we choose to attach to. I like to engage in work that questions a sense of permanence and solidity and expresses alternatives both conceptually and materially. <br />
<br />
My current body of work utilizes a variety of materials including a polyfoam substrate I am able to manipulate by dyeing and sewing, a vinyl sewn with mulberry bark, and shaped works on paper utilizing wax and ink often hanging freeform by clips and wires from the ceiling. Combined, the pieces can play off one another as quite fluid and transparent or dense and weighty. These concepts have always been a part of my questioning life but as of late, I’ve been taking a deeper dive into the philosophies and writings of some truly engaging practitioners exploring the subjects of behavioral science, consciousness and cognition.<br />
<br />
My favorite moments in the studio happen when experimentation leads to some ah-ha breakthrough. Recently, while cutting up some of my works on paper to collage, for instance, I was intrigued by the folding and bending which occurred naturally in the pile. Those cuts, weaving in and out of one another became the impetus for my next piece moving forward. Moments like these can often spring up while away from the studio as well, as if they are sitting in there, dormant, waiting to be birthed … and that’s a thrill. I love then, going back into the studio to flush out the vision and see where it takes me next.<br />

I’m also inspired by the physicality of materials and processes relating to the concepts in a given body of work. I love working in a big painterly way best but often turn to slower more meditative processes like sewing which require an incredible amount of time. The “speed” of the making can often be evidenced in the finished work.<br />

<b>What is your personal history? Creatives in your ancestry that might have influenced you?</b><br />
It’s all true; my first loves were DaVinci, Michelangelo and Peter Paul Rubens. I still love a beautiful line, an exquisite sense of light and a masterful sense of depth. Those qualities can be part of abstraction as well of course, and I believe they’ve been a part of my soul since, well, forever. Later, I began to connect with Picasso then Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell. I love the big gutsy action to this day. I must add Rauschenberg as well. It’s interesting how early influences become part of our nature and never seem to leave.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Name 5 favorite artists that turn you on and why?</b><br />
<a href="http://www.theartstory.org/artist-soutine-chaim.htm" target="_blank">Chaim Soutine</a>, <a href="https://www.artsy.net/artist/vernon-fisher" target="_blank">Vernon Fisher,</a> <a href="https://www.artsy.net/artist/anselm-kiefer" target="_blank">Anselm Kiefer</a>, <a href="http://www.theartstory.org/artist-guston-philip.htm" target="_blank">Philip Guston</a>, <a href="https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1320?locale=en" target="_blank">Isa Genzken</a> , on and on…..the list of artists that turn me on is endless, completely fluid and nonlinear. There are so many artists throughout history and contemporaries alike, doing great work. I am going to choose a few to highlight however just so your blog won’t go on forever…ha. It’s important, for me, to always be looking, whether that’s online, going to openings or doing studio visits. There are always great takeaways and bonds to be made. Here are a few artists I’ll mention:<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.jameswsullivan.com/" target="_blank">James Sullivan </a><br />
Several years ago an exhibition of his work at Conduit Gallery in Dallas made a big impact on me. I had just then, been turning a corner in my own work introducing 3-d forms and wondering how I was going to let the 2-d and 3-d works communicate / relate. Going to see James’s installation was incredibly eye opening, freeing. He’d created an environment with objects that spoke to the narrative and invited the viewer into a personal world that somehow felt universal at the same time. Of course there were connections with each piece in the show but ultimately, the entire exhibition was “the piece” and that has become increasingly clear for me as a concept. I came away feeling not only that I had “permission” to think bigger but that I also saw a way to tap into conceptual object making in a much broader way.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MFHCm86bH3A/WnYNBiaM4pI/AAAAAAAAFY4/mqot1qOtGGUyuNs-WcX4v30eBX2C6I8pACK4BGAYYCw/s1600/James%2BSullivan.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MFHCm86bH3A/WnYNBiaM4pI/AAAAAAAAFY4/mqot1qOtGGUyuNs-WcX4v30eBX2C6I8pACK4BGAYYCw/s400/James%2BSullivan.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.petzel.com/artists/charline-von-heyl" target="_blank">Charline von Heyl</a><br />
I chose Charline von Heyl because the work is so striking. I discovered her work at an exhibition at the ICA Boston after missing a ferry and was never so happy to be delayed!<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.artsy.net/artist/cecily-brown" target="_blank">Cecily Brown</a><br />
I chose Cecily Brown because she breaks up the figure and nature so thoroughly, that I can see the world as particles and energy and yet it’s all about paint. I like the concept of removing “thing-ness” and perceiving a continuum. <br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.arleneshechet.net/" target="_blank">Arlene Shechet </a><br />
I chose Arlene Shechet because the tactile quality of her work is so visually satisfying and the works in relationship are so fully engaging.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.artsy.net/artist/ruth-root" target="_blank">Ruth Root </a><br />
I chose Ruth Root because she so dramatically energizes the formal qualities of art in a way that would be very difficult for me to do. I love the clear concise insistence on the work being what it is and I revel in that clarity. <br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.annahepler.com/" target="_blank">Anna Hepler </a><br />
I chose Anna Hepler for her smart use of materials and consideration for space, relationship and thoughtful installations.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.dianaalhadid.com/work/c/sculptures" target="_blank">Diana Al Hadid </a><br />
I chose Diana Al Hadid for her over the top amazing way that seeing a work of hers can grab my heart. I first saw her work at The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas. The piece filled the room and you had to practically walk sideways to edge around without touching the piece. The scale, creamy tones and almost sickly drips of melting humanity were breathtaking. <br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2016/divine-pleasures" target="_blank">Painting from India's Rajput Courts </a><br />
I fell in love with the color use of works in The Divine Pleasures: Painting from India's Rajput Courts—The Kronos Collections at the Met and had to get the book. The luminous quality and unexpected color combinations are mouthwatering. I have always loved small works packed with information and these so satisfy the bill.<br />

<b>What thoughts do you have to turn off in your head when you are in the studio?</b><br />
<br />
Sometimes the brain gets stuck a bit too long in “what if” mode. That’s when I have to say to myself “just move”!<br />

<br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I saw <a href="http://www.peterrouxartist.com/">Peter Roux's </a> work in June at the <a href="http://www.lyonswiergallery.com/artists">Lyons Wier Gallery</a>, in NY. I was struck by the painterly use of both abstraction and representational imagery and his use of the edge to create depth, compression and expansiveness in the work.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: purple;">Inspirations?</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: verdana;">
<div style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="color: purple;"></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Inspiration is such an elusive thing to define for me. I'm energized to make work based on many </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">sources and experiences, most of which don't connect to each other whatsoever or fall into linked categories.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">The natural world certainly inspires me- whether it be in sky, ground, or detail. I tend to think less in terms of a direct response to a place- that I want to paint that view- and more in the ways and means of the </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">experience. I find myself paying attention to how I respond and the experience of seeing, and that seems to be what drives my work. Translating this into visual information in a piece crosses over representational and abstract platforms for me...which I like. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I'm drawn a bit to contradiction as well, and rebellion. Those inspire me in odd ways. I don't think you see it directly in my work, but it affects me.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Edges inspire me too. If art is all about relationships (forms against space, points in time pressed together, color and value related to create new meaning) then the meat of it for me is in the edges of things, where they meet/blend/relate. I like them hard, soft, elusive, dramatic, quietly shifting, whatever. I can look at a glass on a countertop and get lost in the parts where the glass meets the space surrounding it...to speak nothing of the universe of values and form working within the glass surface. It's endless for me. It's not just about form either...it's where content lies. It always speaks about much more than the subject itself. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">And, of course, seeing good work made by others just makes my brain and heart buzz. I see things, have an experience with them, become slightly changed by the </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">encounter, and feel a direct need to make new work. As a painter I tend to be most drawn to work in mediums that aren't paint. I know paint, and sometimes knowing the structures used can be slightly </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">distracting when looking at artwork. So, I get pulled to the alchemy of things made by processes I don't normally use. And, in a weird organic </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">response, it makes me want to paint.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I've been drawing and painting since I was very young, and have always wanted to be an artist of some kind save for two or three childhood detours (astronaut, sheriff, rock star). Art school was always the goal, and it ultimately just came down to what kind of art I wanted to make, and how.</div>

<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">My mother in particular was instrumental in supporting me in that drive. She was a creative soul who played the piano </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">beautifully and, later in life, had a short but successful career as a weaver. Beyond that, there's very little in my family background that I draw upon for influence. Quite the opposite, in fact: most of it is rooted in blue collar work histories. Art was appreciated and valued by a few, but the opportunities to even know it existed in life were almost non-existent for them. It's almost like I was born with a virus or something.</span></div>

His work always explores, in some fashion, what art is. Richter moves from pure abstraction to photo realism just by jumping when he's ready without apology, yet they connect. Then, he fills in the spaces between the two with yet more works. Painting, sculpture, glass, installation, etc. Even the works I dislike, I like. Weird.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">When I'm actively painting, I tend to put on music that won't distract me but instead filter into my head from the side somehow. Everything from Bach to hardcore punk, so it varies based on my mood. Lots of blues, new and old. When I'm stretching canvas or packing paintings or doing things other than painting, I tend to listen to NPR or interviews with interesting people, or just the news.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: purple; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">What’s on your bookshelf or podcast list? picture or list</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I'll list some.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I really like the <a href="https://savvypainter.com/" target="_blank">Savvy Painter</a> podcasts a lot. In terms of books, lots of history books (especially 20th century stuff), and I'm a sucker for big monographs and expensive art books and catalogs. If I go see gallery shows and love the work but can't afford to buy- which is most of the time- I'll get a catalog if it's available. So, lots of those. They remind me of the work I saw, and its a way to bring it home and live with it. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Oh, and Sophie's Choice because it has one of the best last lines of any novel.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #351c75; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">What thoughts do you have to turn off in your head when you are in the studio?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Any thoughts about people. If I'm worried about someone, or in conflict, or just thinking about someone a lot it tends to be a barrier to working. I can eventually get beyond it and shut it out, but it can take </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">awhile. I'm not sure how I feel about this, either.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I have doubting thoughts about the work I'm doing at times, like any artist. It's part of the process. It's not about trying to eliminate these thoughts but rather learning to manage them, because they're inevitable if you're trying to do something that matters to you. I've tried to figure out ways to manage them as best as I can, including trusting the idea that they'll go away. But they can get to me sometimes.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">Best advice you have gotten about making/being an artist?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">The best advice has generally been about just doing work. Pull energy out of thinking about being an artist and what it looks or feels like to be one, and just make make some art. Chuck Close is famous for staying that inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just get up in the morning and work. That's a bit heavy-handed, but I get it. I think you become an artist by making art. What an artist looks like is irrelevant. If you're making art, then the answer to what an artist looks and feels like is in the mirror. Let everyone else sort it out.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">That, and trust yourself. This is the toughest one, as you're </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">sometimes doing it without any external reinforcement. But another artist once told me that if you create something that matters to you, it's inevitable that it will also matter to someone else, somewhere...and you need to trust that. I think this is a logical extension to the idea that the act of creating means you're putting </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">something (even small) into the world </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">that didn't exist before. So, you alter the world just a little. Just trust that this occurs and that in some way it's important.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Also, that beauty isn't a bad word. This idea in contemporary art that beauty is too simple and trite as content is ridiculous to me. All that happens when artists make work that is intentionally ugly or </span><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">anti-beauty in order to push things is that they're ultimately redefining beauty. It still hits us in the same place. We need more beauty in the world, whatever it looks like. Especially now.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Some see being an artist as self-indulgent. By that measure simply living in the world is self-indulgent. Creating work places me in the world somehow, and calms me down. That's not self-indulgence, it's survival. And, hopefully, the process leaves something in its wake that's bigger than any one individual. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gill sans"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The series I’ve been working on for the past two years,
“Pre-Occupied,” was inspired by Doris Salcedo’s retrospective at the Guggenheim
in 2015. Up to that point my work had been very process-based, but Salcedo made
me wonder whether artists have an obligation to make work about things that frighten
us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

statement: </span><span style="font-family: "gill sans";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "gill sans";">In
this series, I challenged myself to confront something that terrifies me.<o:p></o:p></span></i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "gill sans";">I
have had death panics since I was eight years old. Ironically, the only real
estate I am ever likely to own is a parcel of eight cemetery plots I inherited
from my grandfather. The deed to the plots came with a map of the cemetery,
which seemed like the logical place to begin to address my fear. Each drawing
in this series is based on the map of a different Jewish cemetery, including
the ones where my own relatives are buried. (I am not religious, but the
historical and familial connection was important: these are all places I <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">could</span> be buried, even though I remain
completely unreconciled to the idea of my own death.)<o:p></o:p></span></i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "gill sans";">I
can’t claim that drawing the maps allays my panic. Death remains entirely
unknowable terrain: the map can never be the territory. And yet, stripped of
identifying text, the cemeteries’ abstract forms are mysteriously compelling,
grounding me in the universal human drive to create beauty, order, and ritual
in the face of our own mortality.</span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "gill sans"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "gill sans";"><o:p></o:p></span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gill sans"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I don’t think of my work as political, as Salcedo’s clearly
is. Yet after the 2016 election, as my husband and I started pulling together
our passport applications, I began thinking about what it means to flee a
country and leave your dead behind, exposed and vulnerable. In Europe during
and after the war, Jewish headstones were pulled up and used as the foundations
of houses or as flagstones in patios and roadways. I also started thinking
about the way we can carry our dead with us, and the way the remnants of the destroyed
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shtetls</i> of Eastern Europe can be found
in American cemeteries: you can trace our ancestral villages in the names of
the burial societies. So while many of us have been asking ourselves how to
respond to the current political moment in our work, I found my work connected
to that moment in ways I hadn’t anticipated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What is your personal history? </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gill sans"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I grew up in an apartment on the Upper West Side of New York
City and considered the Met my playground. I knew the layout of the museum by
heart. I loved the children’s wing with the diorama of the medieval workshop,
the interactive color wheel, and the film of how egg tempera is made (the
current version of the children’s wing is completely sterile by comparison). I
still have the tiny books I got there as a child: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How to Look at Paintings</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How
to Look at Sculpture</i>. But I never imagined myself becoming an artist. My
high school’s art program was pretty tepid: I could swear we drew the same
still life every year. I can still close my eyes and see that spider plant. But
something else happened in those years. Our school librarian was also a dance
critic, and she taught an afterschool class in dance appreciation. I got
hooked. In that era, you could get tickets to New York City Ballet for $4 or $5
(in the highest tier of the theatre – but if you spotted an empty seat below
you could claim it during the intermission). I did that about three times a
week, and I think my education in pattern and structure and visual rhythm as
well as my interest in light and shadow and playing with translucency and scrims
came from watching Balanchine ballets (not to mention Karinska’s costumes and
Jennifer Tipton’s lighting). I never had any formal art training. I have two
degrees in English, and a background in weaving, which I learned in a summer
course at 14 and did professionally for years. Eventually I moved from making
functional work on the loom to making sculptural work using textile techniques
with non-traditional materials (wire and glass) to drawing on stone with
powdered metals mixed with cold wax, to drawing on paper. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

both of them were musicians. My mother worked in cultural and educational

Students’ League. Her grandfather had been a goldsmith who made beautiful Art
Nouveau jewelry with a lot of delicate filigree and repoussé work. I guess if
there’s a gene for doing detailed work on a tiny scale I inherited it from him.
My mother’s best friend from high school was the Israeli painter Nora Frenkel,
whose work filled the apartment I grew up in. My father was passionate about
photography, and taught it out of our apartment. We had a darkroom at home
where he (and later I) developed both color and black-and-white film and
prints.</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I grew up in Wales in the 1950s Welsh was my Dad's first language, but in those days uniformity was encouraged so my brother and I never became fluent. In Wales, conscious visual culture is relatively recent, whereas music and literature have always been central to the culture.</span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Part of our family worked in the slate quarries and I was thrilled to find out recently that there was ships carpenter among them. My taid (grandather) worked in a hardware store and had a sideline engraving coffin plates ! I have his tools in my workshop. My Dad was an architect and although he was well known for his Bauhaus-ish buildings, his real love was the old architecture, castles, churches, burial chambers and standing stones of the area we lived in. Much of our family time was spent exploring there and I am forever grateful for my parents love of the landscape. In WW II my Dad served in The Royal Engineers, building bridges, and in bomb disposal..I had had a couple of the bombs he defused, hanging on my bedroom wall when I as a kid.</span></div>

I began this blog in 2009 with "some of this and that about art " and also featured artists working their studios. I have always been interested in artists' inspirations, story, personal history,point of view and studio life.<br />
<br />
What inspires you? What makes the hair on your neck go up? What do you take pictures of? What is your personal history? What artist's work turns you on and why? What do you see outside your window in the studio? What's on your bookshelf? What do you listen to? Thoughts in the studio?<br />
<br />
Those are the kind of questions I will be asking myself and others again.<br />
Stayed tuned but meanwhile here are some interesting posts from the past:<br />

These paintings are deep, layered, and visceral, yet somehow they always remain fresh, immediate, and vivid! Lisa is a true colorist, and when you see these pieces in person (as I hope you do, here, on March 3) you will be captivated by how she speaks the language of color, and how clearly you can hear her voice. These gem-like paintings (many are 12x12) are capable of taking you on long journeys (hence the title of the show "Free Passage"). I know this, because one hangs in my kitchen, and it helps wake me up every morning. - Opening March 3, 5-8pm at Addington Gallery, 704 N Wells St.</td></tr>

It has been way to long since I have posted on this blog. Between being in the studio, teaching and all of the other social media, the blog has gone to the side. I decided to create a Facebook group that would be : updates on my exhibitions and workshops, a place to share art, information, ideas, thoughts and discussions. A little more interactive than the blog.<br />
<br />
So if you are interested please ask to join <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/422092238182683/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">MORE PAINT</span></a> on FB. See you there,<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yesterday I received a comment on Facebook after posting some work that said " I can't keep up with all the changes in your work" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My response: 'Time Changes, Life Changes, Work changes"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is true that my work takes twists and turns. There are shelves of paintings with which I am exploring: structure, color, metaphoric shapes, inside /outside worlds, light, mark-making, scale plus plus.</span><br />

A shape shift here, a corner there, a slight color change and yet the constant of their work is ever-present. I admire that tenacity and vision.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When a collector recently asked Lisa Pressman how much time she had spent making a recent painting she answered directly: "About thirty years." It's an answer that likely came across as a bit flip at first, but considering the depth of experience that goes into her work, Pressman's response was actually both forthright and graceful. To forge the searching, varied and surprising images that she makes, Pressman relies heavily on intuition: a faculty that has taken her many years to trust and talk about. "For many years I used to be embarrassed to talk about intuition," she reflects, "but as time goes on I realize it is my strength."

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pressman is process-oriented and each image represents a kind of gradual accretion of ideas and methods that wouldn't be possible without the broad foundation of caprices and ruminations that preceded it. Her work, which is abstract but still very much inspired by the process of seeing, has a sense of visual "rightness" that only intuition can validate. When she teaches, Pressman often tells her students to stare at something and then close their eyes as they draw it. Why? Because she feels that portraying the essence of things--filtered and re-constituted by the myriad subtleties of consciousness--is better than drawing from life.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lisa, tell me about the theme of your show: "Passing Through."</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Passing Through" reflects both my own travels and the passing away of my mother in September of 2014, just before her 100th birthday. The last few days of her life she had visions of trains, boats and other symbols that referred to traveling. Ironically, In my own travels, I have been using the camera as a sketchbook and many of the photos are related to trains, boats, windows and reflections. So "Passing Through" is about both physical journeys as well as a metaphysical passage.

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you say a bit about how your mother Adele was important to your development as an artist? </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both my parents played an important role in my development. My father owned a lumberyard when I was growing up so I have many memories of walking through the aisles of stuff: screws, nails, washers, etc. Watching the house paint being mixed and looking at all the colors of the paint chips was a thrill. The smell of wood and sawdust is very familiar. As for my mother, she was an actress, an artist and an antique dealer who fostered my interest in art by taking me to museums, supporting my decision to study art and always believing in me.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How does the world around you make its way into your abstract imagery?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my strongest memories as a child was when I would lay in bed and try to fall asleep. I would stare at the wall and create a grid and imagine images in each square of moving light and color. Abstraction speaks to me.
These days I am always looking at patterns, textures, colors, shapes and lines in an abstracted way. Using the camera as a viewfinder has sharpened my vision as a painter. I don't look at or use the photos in the studio but just the act of stopping, noticing and capturing the image filters it way into my work.

<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you work on a single series at a time or do you juggle themes and ideas? </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am always juggling themes, ideas and materials. I work on many pieces at a time and they are all in different stages of completion. After the Passing Through work leaves the studio, I will be continuing to work on a series of paintings that deal with structure, geometry and space.
Some of the consistent themes in my work are transformation and decay, building history, interior and exterior spaces, windows and vessels, mapping and both the close up and the far away. I find that the imagery in my work appears and reappears over years.

Mark Bradford, Jay Kelly, Brenda Goodman, Louise Fishman, Amy Silman, William Kendridge, El Anatsui, Sqeak Carnwath Thomas Nozkowski, Jonathan Lasker, Brice Marden and Andy Goldsworthy. I have a feeling Frank Stella will be in on the list after I see the show at the Whitney.</span><br />

CONTRASTING ABSTRACTIONS. The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, with curator, Virginia Fabbri Butera, PhD, selected works by the following outstanding New Jersey artists, Christine Barney and Nancy Cohen (Jersey City), Susan Lisbin (Orange), Lisa Pressman (West Orange), Christine Tenaglia (Wildwood Crest), Ken Weathersby (Montclair) and Gail Winbury (Westfield).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The exhibit explores the artists’ varied approaches to abstraction – through the use of different media (glass, wood, fabric, paint, resin, handmade paper, wire, etc.), composition, color and vision. Christine Barney’s sculptural glass works highlight color and explore new geometric forms, while Susan Lisbin’s organic, almost anthropomorphic sculptures evoke whimsy and a sense of the fantastic. In Nancy Cohen’s hands, glass art assumes unexpected and fascinating organic forms – in combination with other media such as metal, glass, wire, handmade paper, and resin. Christine Tenaglia’s wood pieces have a sense of presence and monumentality far beyond their modest proportions while Ken Weathersby’s geometric approach to abstraction utilizes precise patterning and reveals underlying physical structures to engage his viewers. Gail Winbury’s lyrical abstract paintings showcase her distinctive use of color and design while Lisa Pressman’s works focus on line and hint at hidden codes through incorporation of alphabetic and numeric marks.<br />
Curator Virginia Fabbri Butera, PhD, adds, “Since the mid-19th century, visual artists have been experimenting with the creation of non-figurative imagery in 2-D and 3-D objects. In this exhibition we have a wonderful opportunity to contemplate works by seven mid-career New Jersey artists who are focusing on important metaphors about contemporary abstraction. By manipulating varied substances, colors, and structures in nonrepresentational arrangements, the artists suggest energy, emotion, meaning and psychological inferences and interactions that underlie both 21st century art and life.”<br />
The public is invited to view this exciting exhibit and to meet the artists at the free opening reception on October 8, 2015 from 6-8pm at Gallery at 14 Maple, a distinctive space located on the 3rd floor of the LEED certified “green” building at 14 Maple Avenue in Morristown, NJ. Refreshments will be served.”</div>

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Pressman brings us to paint-laden abstraction. Graphic swaths of chromatic paint form the topmost layer of paintings that ask us to look deep into their surface, where scribed lines and scraped passages form a structural matrix. The broad strokes recall Franz Kline, while the overall markings and dense under lay- ers reference the paintings of Lee Krasner, but the result is uniquely the artist’s own.”</span></em></div>

next level in technique and expression. Individual direction and development of
a personal vision will be a goal of this class with an emphasis on freeing the
creative spirit. I will use guided exercises to lead students through an
intuitive creative process, developing a new body of work that is richly
layered in content and concept. Activities will include exercises, informal
group discussion and individual support. Exercises are grounded in abstraction;
attention will be paid to the use of personal symbols and markings that could
develop into a deeper visual dialogue. </span></i></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">R&F Pigment Sticks
are oil paint with just enough wax added for the paint to be molded into stick
form. They allow the artist to draw or paint onto a surface with freedom and
directness. This workshop introduces you to pigment sticks and allows you to
explore a wide variety of mark making, creating rich layered surfaces.
Exercises are designed to help beginners and professionals alike free
themselves from preconceived ideas of painting. Emphasis will be on using the
techniques to heighten and enhance the artist's own visual language. Individual
attention is given to each student so the beginner as well as the professional
will get the feedback needed to bring back to their studio. Power point
presentations, discussions of contemporary art, professional and career support
are all offered.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I came to Lisa Pressman with a specific set of goals in mind
that I wanted to address in my art and my art career goals and she was a
wonderful soundboard and guide. I really appreciated the way she looked at my
work and my goals and helped me hone in on what is essential to my visual
voice, as well as pushing me to really think and delve further. Months later, I
am still referring to my notes I took during our sessions and our email
exchanges. Doing the mentorship with Lisa was like being given a toolbox full
of resources and reflections that I have taken with me and will keep with me
for a long time. "</span></div>
