This selection of featured paintings on canvas and paper represents the joy of creating as expressed by Blitt in the following quote.
“Rita Blitt’s transforming vision is more in the way of an inner landscape. Her elegant fabrications celebrate her love of dance and spontaneous flow of movement captured in the drawn gesture. As she has said of her working method, ‘The real magic moment is when that drawing comes out of my hands. The process is most important, the joy of creating. I feel like I’m dancing on paper or canvas, and it is a physical thing, the movement, my joy in moving.’”
