ART IN THE PALISADES

June, 2000 -- At the post office this month, we are happy to have Elaine Langerman's bright, dynamic paintings on display.
Moving from the personal to the universal, they tell stories, remind us of dream worlds, and give us new insights into realities that we all share.
Carter Ratcliffe comments that by "embodying ideas about space and its organization, these objects are Utopian in their playfulness, and in their potential for infinite expansion."
Elaine Langerman lives and works near American University. She has a BA from American University, and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Maryland. Her inspiration comes from dreams, poetry, and childhood memories. Her work is in the collections of the National Museum of American Art, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the National Institutes of Health, the Ray Johnson Archive, and the Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts.
She has shown her work all over the world and throughout the United States. Currently her work is traveling with the "Women of the Book" exhibition, being shown in various university art galleries.
