Statement: “Oh to be able to travel thru time like a spirit” - Charles Baudelaire, 1821-1867
As an artist, I think of myself as having a painterly spirit. My playful imagination is a key ingredient. Each of my prints or paintings are drawn from a personal visual menagerie where landscapes, portraits or a dreamlike sequence may come to life. All of these make up my kaleidoscope. These images are fleeting and they explore a moment in time which may exist between fantasy and reality. The work is inspired “once I’ve suspended my sense of reality and allowed objects from my menagerie to come to life.” Joan Jacobson Zamore has been doing art all her life but only declared herself an artist after discovering the happy surprise called “the monotype” while auditing a printmaking class at Yale with Richard Claude Ziemann.
