New Artist in Residence

DINA ROUDMAN

Dina Roudman is an interdisciplinary artist, actor, and photographer whose work blurs the line between the seen and the felt. Rooted in ritual, memory, and transformation, her practice weaves painting, performance, and lens-based storytelling into intimate, immersive worlds. Self-taught and instinctual, she approaches creation with a childlike curiosity and a deep spiritual pull exploring identity, longing, and the quiet moments where something sacred slips through.

Artist Statement:

"I started painting by trusting a feeling before I had a word for it. No sketch, no plan, just a mark that felt right and the next one that answered it. Somewhere along the way, other people's questions got louder than that first impulse.

This show goes back.

These are places I have stood and things I have known. Not illustrations of them. Not painting an object or a place but I am painting the way they still are imbedded in my memory.

Every painting here was made by trusting the first impulse and ignoring the question. That is the whole process, and it is the only subject."
