“‘What’s next, Fineberg?’ This is what my dad would say to my mom when he was ready for dessert (pie & coffee), of course. This is what I ask myself with regards to my art. I make art: paintings, mixed media clothing, jewelry & books. I especially love how the paint glides on the wood. My favorite landscape is Israel. The contrast of antiquity and modern draws me in. A series of these pieces incorporate Hebrew font. My neighborhood night scenes have been a recent endeavor. The contrast of darks and light create a magical, abstract effect. Large mixed media pieces incorporate fabric, paints, yarn, thread, glue, buttons, ribbon and whatever else found or recycled. Sometimes I reinvent my painted landscapes into this media. An unexpected event changes the series: ‘ENOUGH’ a large fabric piece tells of the violence in our schools. The covid upheavals became a painting. Each work takes me to the next piece.” - Rosemary Fineberg
