Jillian Zausmer Goldberg

I enjoy painting with acrylics and adding mixed media and various surface embellishments. My work is abstract but usually incorporates recognizable imagery. Strong, saturated colors, firmly structured compositions and surface textures are important.  Inspiration comes from both painting theory challenges and  from memories of an African childhood.
