Biography:
As an abstract oil painter, she
believes that abstraction in art is
powerful in its ability to
communicate universally. Umerlik's
motifs represent a skeletal mapping
of life's emotional tendencies, be
it pure joy or sadness, there is a
map of the universal heart that
permeates my artwork and my artistic
intelligence. Her proficiency in
this language of abstraction has
been a collaboration of many years
between herself and that part of the
outside world that harbors our
collective emotional intelligence.
Umerlik's greatest influences have
been Constantin Brancusi, Georgia
O'Keefe, Paul Klee and Joseph
Cornell for the way in which
they lived their art, Herman Hesse and
Paulo Coehlo for their words and
vision, Christo for his motivations
and belief in beauty, and the
abstract expressionists for their
fearlessness.
