My continuing artistic interest has been abstract painting. At the moment, influenced by Byzantine and Japanese art, I am integrating metallic gold as a color into paintings. In these non-objective paintings, the color metallic gold is a metaphor for society’s interest in the accumulation and the display of excessive wealth. As an object, gold is the ultimate precious metal having both political and societal impact. When I create art, I am aware of the world at large and this interest is continually Harriet Sobie Goldstein was raised in Brooklyn, NY and graduated from Hunter College, where she majored in Art. While a student at Hunter, Ms. Goldstein took classes from the artist Tony Smith, who praised her use of color. Ms. Goldstein is a versatile artist, who loves creating art whether as a printmaker or painter. Her paintings include figurative works and landscapes, but she always returns to her love of abstract painting.
