Watercolor

Artist Statement
For over twenty-five years, I was a professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at Northeastern University in Boston, where I live. (I have a Ph.D. in sociology.) When I retired I changed direction completely. Almost automatically, I started to paint still-lifes using watercolors, taking many classes and workshops. I was possessed with the desire to visually represent, in beautiful watercolor, fruits and vegetables in bowls and plates on kitchen tables, creating a new way of seeing beauty in mundane, taken-for granted objects. Color, light and shadow created by the sun outside but observed primarily indoors in the kitchen are magic. There is something about lighted round fruits of vibrant colors, such as oranges and tomatoes, combined with blues, usually found in ceramics, fabric and backgrounds on kitchen tables, that, for me, represent a promise: of the pleasures of food, kitchens, community and peacefulness. I paint using a transparent palette and technique.
I have taken classes and workshops consistently. My most important teachers have been Marjorie Glick, Nava Grunfeld, Marla Greenfield, Irena Roman and I have taken classes and workshops consistently. My most important teachers have been Marjorie Glick, Nava Grunfeld, Marla Greenfield, Irena Roman and Susan Archer, but I have been influenced by other artists with whom I have taken classes as well as by watercolor books and magazine articles by and about artists—thus by painters from afar. I am aware that the way that I write about my paintings is not a fashionable description of much contemporary art. I also recognize that representative watercolor paintings are not plentiful in galleries and art shows. Nevertheless, I have had enormously positive responses to my paintings and am convinced that there is an audience for them.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
