View Roslyn's Work

Roslyn G. Epstein's work varies among charcoal, chalk and collage.  She also works with oil on treated paper.  "I like working on paper because it is a hard surface.  With or without texture, it will absorb the color or tone.  Clay sculpture gives Roslyn another voice to use and communicate with those viewing her work.  "With clay I am able to feel forms, to express the movement by merely pushing.  My ladies in clay simply appear."

Roslyn’s creative drive: 

"I feel comfortable with the female form as it is an organic rhythmic form that can reflect change, renewal and fortitude."

Key emotion represented in her work:

“My joys, my search inward, my physical injuries and illness are somewhere on the paper or in the form.”

Personal relationship to her work:

"As a breast cancer survivor, I feel that the curvaceous lines and continuous movement that is represented in my work is truly from my life experiences.”

Thoughts on sharing art:

“As an educator, I recognize the power of knowledge.  I have taught art from kindergarden all the way to twelfth grade and watching others learn how to express themselves through art is incredible.”
