Painted drawings...drawn paintings...Arline Kimbel Sadlon has been pursuing ideas in art for more than 6 decades. She honors the human spirit in creativity, an essence that exists in each paint stroke and graphite line: DRESS CODES (Social Codes) using oil sticks on glassine, GIVERNY ANXIETY (Paris Attacks) mixed media on paper, and currently, POTS (Homage to the Southwest Native American Pottery Forms) using acrylics and powdered pigments rubbed on mylar.
