About the Exhibition
“It is not a secret that after more than twenty years living in Dallas, my husband and I are about to relocate closer to our children and grandchildren, near Washington DC. I feel that my years in Dallas were artistically fruitful, that my work developed and grew. In recent years I built an artistic home in my Goldmark studio, and was proud of the fact that I was the first artist to move into the building. I would love an opportunity to say goodbye to Dallas and to the Goldmark community by presenting the work I have created in the Norman Brown Gallery,
With the upcoming move in mind, I embarked on creating a set of outdoor sculptures that will serve as identifying signs for the multiple trees in our new back yards. Ten different species at all, each will be marked with a carving of its name, and decorated with identifying representation of leaves and fruit. I imagine this series to be the center piece of the exhibition.”
