Embracing the goal to enhance and support the rich artistic talent on Long Island, LIM has created a special membership opportunity for visual artists, LIMarts: a collaborative arts group. Designed for artists dedicated to creating a forum within our cultural community, LIMarts offers space for the exhibition and sale of artwork, varied programming events, lectures and opportunities for social gathering with other artists and the public. For information about becoming an LIMarts member, e-mail Alexandria D’Auria.
Artist of the Month
Lorena Salcedo-Watson
The Long Island Museum and LIMarts are pleased to announce the October 2024 Artist of the Month: Lorena Salcedo-Watson.
“My imagery describes temporal qualities of life, both witnessed and experienced. Based on a fascination with human anatomy, botany, and entomology, my work explores phases in biological development and perceptions of the human body. I am interested in revealing our relationship to the world as part of an open, living system, embracing ambiguities in nature’s architecture. Through my imagery I want to evoke unconscious associations with the natural world, pulling the viewer into ambiguously familiar terrain. I am interested in transforming and interpreting aspects of nature, filtering through personal experience, observation, and imagination.”
