Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, NJ (1888PressRelease)
August 28, 2008 - Ms. Sissman’s oil paintings have been featured in shows in New York City and throughout the Northeast, won multiple awards, and have been the subject of many press articles and reviews. Her works are collected by corporate collectors and by individuals in the US and abroad. Ms. Sissman is a full-time painter and is listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Art, and Who's Who of American Women.
"Every painting is a self portrait. I do not paint flowers. Having no faces of their own, flowers in my work represent an image that viewers of diverse backgrounds can relate to. Overcoming superficial dissimilarities, they serve as portraits of universal appeal.”
Her landscapes, like her flowers, are not merely intended to reflect nature but rather to project an inner reflection, a metaphorical journey.
”I admire the intensity of emotions found in the works of the Expressionists. Like them, I too mix my soul with my paints. However, I strive to be subtle in my expression of the intense."
"The plants [in Liron's work] become anthropomorphic lovers"
Joseph Jacobs, Curator of American Art at the Newark Museum
