Kathy Mazur's Sounds of Silence

The twelve paintings from Kathy Mazur’s Sounds of Silence series, serve as abstract interpretations of selected ASL signs. With signs such as “change”, “trust”, “forgive” and “patience”, the series speaks of a kind of evolution through the words chosen and their fluid artistic representations. Kathy uses vibrant colors and clean lines to create movement and emotion.
