Bonnie Goldberg

“My figure work is the embodiment of who I am as an artist. I connect
to the lines and shapes of the pose, the gesture of the model, and find the
essence of the person who is posing. As I work and find the gesture, I try
to keep the details to a minimum. I believe it is important to engage the
viewer in a work of art and I see it as collaboration between the model, the
artist, and the viewer. We, as artists and as lovers of art, understand that
art is what teaches us what is important in life and defines those moments
that we all have when beauty becomes reality.”
