About My PaintingsMy paintings reflect and explore qualities of time, place and subject matter. Inspiration varies: travel, studies of Asian art, and news clippings compel a search of emotional essence. These paintings mirror the passage of time. They are painted to music, and the brushstrokes have their tempo. Often incandescent hues flicker and shine as stasis and motion co-exist as the viewer moves. The work concerns Process, incorporating layering, calligraphic mark and impasto brushstroke revealing the artist's hand. These elements together with the joy of painting evoke viewer participation as music engages the listener in an artistry that he both feels and understands. Curator Charlotta Kotik wrote: "For Engelman, the art of painting is to reveal hidden mysteries and delights present in our surroundings, waiting to be discovered. She has dedicated herself to make us better understand the strength of our own perception, while considering the everlasting magic of painting." Solo Exhibits
