Artist Portfolio: Shari Epstein, Long Branch, New Jersey, USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The question of when a work is a collage and when it is a painting is a good one to consider when viewing Shari Epstein\u2019s work. She maintains a delicate balance between the two and operates at the intersection of collage and painting. An eagle soars through a blue sky scene populated with moments of red, pink, orange, and the tawny colours of old paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portfolio of Shari Epstein\u2019s work appears in KOLAJ #27<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
