Patricia Herz Deahl

Patricia Herz Deahl, over a lifetime career in the arts, has ranged widely across form and material. She has used media from standard to exotic and she has painted large and small. What has reasserted itself throughout the years is landscape. Sometimes the earth’s features abstract themselves into symbols of nature, and other times they relax into a representational romance. This conflict between forms of vision is echoed in the landscape itself.  Herz Deahl says that her preoccupation is with the meeting of sky and ground.  Solving that head-on confrontation at the horizon provides her reason to paint. She wants for us beauty that we do not have to question. She wants for us a place to rest.

A New York artist, Deahl has a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY New Paltz and a Masters in Studio Art from the College of New Rochelle. She has been exhibiting her work nationally, though primarily in New York, for over forty years.
