"My work continues to define the stories I wish to tell," writes Ms. Azoff. "In order to move forward, the need to explore past experiences becomes apparent. There is a passion I feel when I am painting or printmaking, when lecturing on a famous artist, when helping a student pull a print -- being in the studio and watching whatever ‘it’ is, which makes art, come together in a work."

"I use the still life and abstract landscapes as a basis for the composition. The drawings center on organic, figurative shapes and forms. Placement is the most important part and as I work on this picture plane, the spaces between the objects define the surreal landscape. The mark on the page is essential to completing this narrative. These new works use drawing, erasing, layering of materials to find a unique balance. I use various mediums to transmit these concepts. From collage, printmaking, painting to drawing, I enjoy the way in which the mediums communicate the vision of beauty and grace."
