ARTIST STATEMENT
In my professional work as a psychologist, I pay attention to people’s words: to patterns, background, and foreground and to the line and color of their stories. I go to the Highlands of New Jersey, tend to the patterns; background and foreground; and line and color, and without words, I paint what I see and feel, and that becomes my story.

Artist Insights
ARTIST STATEMENT - JUDITH A. LIEBERMAN
My digital prints are usually landscapes, sometimes with a geometric element, such as a house, or a figure, human or animal, with an emphasis on the sky. Usually the inspiration is something I have actually seen, but sometimes the image is entirely imaginary, and sometimes narrative. I try to distill and pare down the image to achieve an equivalency to a kind of intensified seeing. There is an inherent beauty in commonly observed views which I am trying to portray in a fresh and innovative way.
My assemblages are playful, thoughtfully executed, and well-crafted. I want viewers to think, “How beautiful!”, or “How fun!” or “How did she do that?” I think about how best to represent rain, or snow, twilight, or an invisible virus. Then I go for it, employing whatever materials seem to work. In 1980, I visited the Joseph Cornell retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Inspired by Cornell’s work, I began incorporating boxes into my paintings, a way to combine aspects of both 2- and 3-dimensional images. I also found that sometimes the box assemblage stands alone without a surrounding canvas.
