W-5: “Just Because” by Lynn Goldstein

Lynn Goldstein's current exhibition, "Just Because," is inspired by a profound shift in her artistic journey from representational work to abstraction. This transformation reflects Goldstein's fascination with the beauty of nature and the passage of time.

She is particularly drawn to the textures and colors found in weathered frescoes, worn paint on old buildings, and the intricate patterns of the natural world. These elements evoke a sense of history and timelessness in her work.

Additionally, her personal experiences and memories, especially those rooted in the landscapes, mountains, and trees of her upbringing, play a significant role in shaping her art. By translating these inspirations into abstract forms, Goldstein aims to create a space where viewers can engage with the art on a deeply personal level, bringing their interpretations and emotions to the experience.

Ultimately, "Just Because" is a celebration of the journey itself—of change, exploration, and the ongoing dialogue between the artist, the artwork, and the audience.
