Jacob’s Ladder

Artist: Nadine Epstein

Artist’s Statement

For most of my life, I’ve kept drawing journals in which I experimented with ink, pastels, various forms of paint and printmaking. My journal work focuses on the interior life of women.  I juggled my journals and professional illustration work with my career as a journalist and writer until 2004, when I became the publisher and editor of Moment Magazine. This led to new visual creative outlets such as magazine art direction.

As time has passed, I’ve come to understand that my art and photography work share the same lines, shapes and colors, along with a deep feminism. They both transform what is fleeting to permanence, leaving a mark, a testament to the female soul and body. This show at the Moment Gallery includes pieces from both my drawing and photography journals.
