Statement

Disturbed Landscapes are paintings inspired and informed by the landscape of the lower Catskill Mountains, specifically surrounding the Ashokan Reservoir. Freedman works in oils as well as making monoprints and etchings- creating work that is both highly emotional and reverential - exposing the changes fermenting in the natural world.

"Deborah Freedman's exceedingly beautiful paintings have the feel of landscapes in a state of transformation and upheaval. But under their stirring and emotional vibrancy is a state of great calm, a kind of unspoken optimism that settles, reassures and inspires. They are works to be contemplated and inhabited. They will touch your soul." Bruce Joel Rubin, Screenwriter, Art Collector
