My subject is the language of light through the language of painting.

I arrange shapes for interactions of pigments in fluid washes

against untouched paper,

or I layer and build up the image with many transparent layers,

often leaving shards of brilliant paper between shapes.

With soft pastels, the process is somewhat different,

but I work toward the same goal,

where shapes, values, and colors interact in surprising and visually compelling ways.

 

Suzanne Siegel

 

“Pow, clarity in all the work; structure and color in particular.

The work surprised me, as it was so abstract

and still so much a narrative.

That is a real strength of yours...dual meaning.”

Barbara Grossman, Bowery Gallery, NYC
