Chaya Schapiro

As a painter living in Columbia, MD for 25 years, my art reflects personal journeys and sensibilities. I am interested in exploring art not only as painting for its sake, but also as a communication tool to listen to an inner feeling or sensation. The influences to my work have been varied and considered. At the beginning, my painting journey was a derivative of past painting styles, content and philosophies. More recent work is a description from my lifestyle, personal experiences, philosophy, nature and culture.
