JUDITH MONTEFERRANTE
Artist Statement:
I was born in 1949 in New York and lived in Queens with parents who loved the arts. My father was an Art Director at Young & Rubicam. Many hours were spent in Greenwich Village and the many museums and parks in New York City and the suburbs. Summers explored Long Island and surrounding waters. The appreciation for the sky, the flowers and the sea grew. Arts and crafts were encouraged, but not a career in the uncertain world of art. I chose instead to develop my other passion; helping people in need. After achieving an RN degree and then Master's in adult health working in critical care, I completed Medical School at Mt. Sinai in NYC in 1978. I became board certified in Cardiovascular Disease and Nuclear Cardiology and am partner in a large specialty practice, Cardiology Consultants of Westchester. Now in my 50's, I have rekindled this interest in art and photography with an enlightened vision. My skills at imaging the heart are transferred to the study of nature's intimate places. I believe the years of witnessing and helping those who are ill and dying have sharpened my sensitivity, broadened my vision and allowed me to see the beauty in the world with a heightened appreciation. The magic of flowers and of color in nature, the sea and its coastline with its suppressed violence, intrigue me. The range of light in Black & White, both simplify and enhance how I view the world. Share this vision, beneath the sun and the moon, with me. My husband, Roger E. Salisbury, PSA, joins this quest as Cape Ann Artists with studios in New York and Gloucester. He also has a dual career as a plastic surgeon and department chief as well as director of the Burn Unit at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY and as a master pastelist in the Pastel Society of America.
