ABOUT the ARTIST
Ronnie Seiden-Moss is a New York artist who studied at Hunter College, B.A., Brooklyn College, M.A., Parsons School of Design, Art Students League, National Academy of Design, School of Visual Arts. She instructed talented teens at LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts and college students at Lehman College and Parsons School of Design in the visual arts and facilitates professional development workshops for in service art teachers.
Through thoughtful imagery the artist explores the idea that all is connected, will change with time and has the power to nourish, erode, influence, delight, horrify, prohibit, inspire.

These projects address the same ideas while they connect people through participation. Oil paintings are figurative, painterly, colorful. The imagery includes people, sky, water, land. Figure studies, portraits, landscapes, waterscapes, cityscapes, projects make up the body of work.
Moment-in-time paintings include multiple meanings. Panel paintings are an outgrowth of an interest in continuity and change. Each panel is a composition which is then joined to a larger composition. Often the magical diptych or triptych references life from the female point of view. Landscapes, which fill the gap between figuration and abstraction, are explorations in freeing techniques. They evolve to become mystically connected to all life. Projects involve paint and other materials. Three dimensional pieces, sound and video become part of the presentation. Volunteers are recruited as models and assistants in various capacities. Connections are made.
Paintings, prints and drawings created by Ronnie Seiden-Moss are in private and corporate collections nationwide. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows.
