Artist's Statement

Rita Corwin paints with emphasis on color and mood.  Her works are non-representational; furthermore, the designs are not planned, so each piece evolves as color and shape and assumes its own character.  The viewer is then free to experience the paintings intuitively without a prescribed subject or focus.  Rita endeavors to make forms and color evocative, experiential, and capable of eliciting emotion and mood.
