Westfield artist Shari Seltzer describers herself and her work:

"I view the world as a miraculous place.
And I work to translate my sense

of wonder into the visual.  My creativity is nourished by the flexibility and freedom of working in multiple media. . . The patterns and layers I see in the world are conveyed in my artwork.  The joy and playfulness of producing art makes it richer."
