Spotlight Artist
Jane Madeline Colgan
Painting is a way for me to express something that lies beyond my vision. I once observed an old couple walking away from me across the plaza at Lincoln Center. Her ancient arm was curled into the crook of his elbow…his head was bent toward hers, his spine made straighter with a cane. They were one …moving together through time in space.
The forms themselves were powerful, but it was the space between them that held my attention. Since that day I have been intrigued and inspired by the space between the forms.
