Rita Blitt
Painter/Sculptor

Blitt’s paintings and sculptures celebrate her love of dance and the spontaneous flow of movement captured in the drawn gesture. She says: ”When that line comes out of my hand or two hands simultaneously, I feel like I’m dancing...”

Blitt, who has been invited to exhibit in the 2005 Florence Biennale, has created sculptures up to sixty feet in height. Her drawings paintings and sculpture are in museums, galleries, and private collections worldwide, including Australia, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, Singapore, Taiwan and the U.S.
