Carolyn Newberger
Artist Statement:
In my art I try to capture the essence of our human experience - in music, in dance, in our relationships with each other, and in the world around us. From life and imagination, I work in several mediums, including watercolor, oil, pen and ink, and collage. Much of my work is done in darkened concert halls, where with a loose hand and receptive mind I try to communicate both personal character and the spark, rhythm, flow and urgency of performance. Many of these drawings accompany personal essays and music and dance reviews in The Berkshire Edge, a local online newspaper.
