Artist Statement

After a career as a magazine creative director, in 2008 Davidowitz returned to a fine art practice as printmaker and painter. Living in West Shokan, New York, the artist studied under various teachers at the Woodstock School of Art, including Kate McGloughlin, Jenny Nelson, Donald Elder and others. Her work, which is in private collections in California, Utah, Virginia, Boston and New York, has shown in galleries throughout the Hudson Valley region. Davidowitz has been awarded residencies at the Cill Rialaig Project in Ireland and the Brush Creek Arts Foundation in Wyoming. The artist portrays an abstract, intuitive response to the outside world, with a loose, painterly approach to mark-making, focusing on the details and textures of nature: branches, vines, leaves and other organic forms. Her printmaking focuses primarily on monotypes which then offer a way to explore ideas for her paintings.
