Featured Artist: Connie Hirschman Shorb.
Connie started drawing as a child, continued through her school years and began working in mixed media before it was called mixed media. She spent several years designing and creating computer pixelated designs at a time when computers were still new technology. That period greatly influenced the geometric design approach seen in her work today.
“ I’m most comfortable working with a variety of mixed media to create multiple types of non-objective designs. My canvasses exhibit a balance of colors, forms, and textures. The two-dimensional canvas is developed with flexibility, movement and attention to detail based on a variety of surface treatments. I use basic design principles, pure color, geometric forms and even sculptural effects to create a “visual experience”. My artwork is something significant in itself, not an imitation of life. It can produce a mood, an emotion, a sense of order or simply something unique to enjoy. ” ~ Connie Herschman Shorb
