The Brothership Building North Gallery Window curated by Berkshire Art Center will feature “Surprise…Botanicals” by Diane Firtell for the month of September.

Artist Statement:

As an artist almost my entire life, I continue to find the greatest joy in artistic expression, both visual and performance.  While I love experimenting and learning new ways to express myself, as I look back at a lifetime of artmaking (in various mediums) I find 2 repeated themes: floral (appearing early on and since, in almost every medium) and the use of collage and later image transfer. Making art has been the ultimate life teacher for me as I am learning to appreciate challenge and experimentation without (hopefully) judgment.
