Using imagery culled from both personal history and the contemporary moment she finds recognizable iconic objects imbued with potent metaphoric possibilities, and incorporates them in a range of painterly events. Lorraine Peltz's paintings, photographs, and works on paper examine the ideas of memory, place, and identity – particularly in relation to women.
