The Donald B. Palmer Museum
of the Springfield Free Public Library will feature an exhibit of sculptures by
Springfield resident Jarrett Goldberg from May 27 through the end of July. Retired as an art teacher in the
Millburn-Short Hills school district, Mrs. Goldberg currently works in Summit
at the New Jersey School of Visual Art. She received her training as an artist at a
variety of locations including Kean University, the Art Students League, the
New School, Snow Farm in Massachusetts and the John Campbell School in North
Carolina. Her work as been exhibited in
numerous juried shows in the area including the Gaelen Invitational Art Show
where Mrs. Goldberg received a designation of honorable mention.
According to Mrs. Goldberg, “My work celebrates human
relationships and the enormous range of human feelings. The abstract quality of my work allows me to
focus on the gestures and beauty of the human figure in simple flowing and
interconnected forms. This ultimately
results in creating both an aesthetic and artistic point of view.” Mrs. Goldberg works in clay, firing and
finishing each piece with a patina of her own choosing. Some of her pieces have also been bronzed.
