Luzwick’s art has been compared to a cross between Ivan Albright and
Norman Rockwell, yet it holds its own with its highly individual style.
Her detailed surrealistic images are executed in black charcoal on an 18
x 24 canvas format. One can easily see the influence of an inner-city lifestyle
and the experience of one who has looked into the dark face of poverty.
“Life in Uptown (Chicago) has also contributed to her art—the
neighborhood’s crowded, jumbled storefronts and interiors, its waif-like
children, and its exhausted yet independent old people can be seen and felt
in her drawings.” |
