Connie Cantor---Artist’s Statement---I am currently working primarily with acrylic and pen, exploring the connectivity between free form shapes, repetitive marks and abstract letter forms. My studio is in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh at 41st and Foster. I exhibit at Pittsburgh galleries including Moxie Dada, Gallerie Chiz, FE Gallery and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. I am a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Society of Artists, and Group A.
