\"lucillle-nurkse-studio1\"I am happiest when I am making pictures. I respond to life with art. I am a storyteller-that\u2019s how I engage in the world. My figures are prototypes inspired by individuals. Character is in the gesture. Working flat, the challenge is to show some depth. I like an open-ended story.<\/p>\n

I studied Chinese calligraphy with Wang Chi-Yuan<\/a>. Since his death I have worked abstractly and figuratively in oil, watercolor, printmaking, and collage. I draw the figure at Spring Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a personal note I am passionate about the environment and climate change. \u00a0My favorite organizations are the National Resource Defense Council<\/a> and the Union for Concerned Scientists<\/a>. Among the many humanitarian organizations I support the International Rescue Committee<\/a>, Oxfam <\/a>and Mercy Corp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in New York City as well as in juried shows throughout the United States. I have been awarded residencies at both the Byrdcliffe Art Colony and the Blue Mountain Center. I am a member of the National Association for Women (NAWA), Women in the Arts, and the NY Artists\u2019 Circle.<\/p>\n
