Lorraine Peltz's paintings and works on paper examine the ideas of memory, place, and identity - particularly in relation to women. Using imagery culled from both personal history and the contemporary moment she paints recognizable iconic objects imbued with potent metaphoric possibilities, and incorporates them in a range of painterly events. Peltz's images coalesce into exuberant fields of color coupled with a singular object that resonate with accumulated meanings, and provide an expanse of visual pleasure.
