Blurb:

If the status of women has grown contested in recent decades, Maggie Entrekin Roizen's canvases offer a view toward some of womanhood's, and womanliness's, perennial and authentic aspects.  Her medium is mood and her expressive destination is invariably a complex narrative of intimate introspection.  Her abstract approach -- as evidenced for example in her canvases' deep silences and her technique of providing only the merest suggestion of face or limbs -- contributes the essential story-generating ambiguity and dynamic to her work.  To wander into one of her oils is to be drawn into one's own remembrance.  Every figure study in effect proposes its subject as a visual representation of the eternal beauty inhering in dignity, contemplation, solitude, and the memory of love.  Her oils recall the broad tradition of the California school of figurative painting.  She is a Berkeley artist of long standing.
