Deirdre Weinberg

I have always recorded my reactions to the world around me, even if it’s not beautiful, though I do seek to show beauty where it might be overlooked. I’ve lived in many parts of the country and painted with many types of people here and abroad, realizing that art sends barricades tumbling down. I’ve tried to convince people that they can paint even if they insist that they can’t, since there is always something they can do to contribute to the bigger picture ( literally!). I hope that they feel more connected to the source of their creative impulses, their impulses to reach out and connect- because that is the engine of our survival.
