The Asian Cultural Center is proud to announce its FIRST solo exhibition show, by Susan "Libby" Siegel. This three week show will explore the various mediums and artistic expressions

Artist Statement:

My work is a reaction to nature, life experiences and people. I get excited when confronted with a blank canvas. It presents me with the opportunity to explore the interplay of color, various media and a host of different topics to express myself. My inspiration is derived from people, medicine, gardens and more abstract ideas. "Each of my paintings are like independent fantasy worlds. I try to create unique, meaningful yet abstract interpretations of serious subjects. I accomplish this by building a close connection between science and imagery. My goal is to stay on the cutting edge. I constantly seek new inspiration as I grapple with the information overload pervading contemporary life."

PEOPLE
"I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait" -----Salvador Dali

GARDENS
"In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful" ------Abram Urban

MEDICAL
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science"-----Albert Einstein

ABSTRACT
"The goal of abstract art is to communicate the intangible, that which eludes the photograph and normal seeing." -----Curtis Verdun
