Defiant, acrylic on canvas by Tammy Kushnir

Tammy Kushnir, Dreamscapes, Twenty-Two Gallery

“Dreamscapes in an accumulation of imaginary landscapes from fractured emotions and passion for color. The combination leads the viewer to embrace something within themselves and connect with the pieces. My hope is that those who see my art will walk away feeling something that perhaps they didn’t realize was a part of them & acknowledge it.

I create to find joy within myself and hopefully extend that to others through colors and impressions of paint. I want to stimulate the viewer emotionally as well as through physical interaction through the texture in the art. When a piece resonates with a viewer, I know my job is done.” – Tammy Kushnir
