About Me

I'm an abstract painter and sculptor.

I am a member of Studio Gallery and Foundry Gallery in Washington DC.

Please see my website www.marinareiter.com

I'm always torn between looking for a peace of mind and scratching at my scars, between feeling happy and embracing my inner darkness.

My art is about connecting and relationships... The creatures that I paint are reaching out to connect with kindred spirits... it doesn't always work for them, but they are hopeless romantics

I also like to experiment wit texture and collages to create abstract cityscape paintings


My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Painters, artists and likeminded folk!

Music:

My favorite song is "Life's a Pigsty" by Morrissey. My favorite album is "Disintegration" by The Cure.

Television:

unplugged in September 2006...

Heroes:

none... I have an authority problem...

Books, Art and Gadgets

Sometimes I wonder what's going to happen to books and art... Will they become a thing of the past? Yesterday on my lunch break I went to a bunch of stores just to look at what everyone was selling fo...

The Cities Around Me

Yesterday was such a perfect day. Wonderful wondeful weather, lots of sun. It felt like spring. I was painting at home when suddenly I decided to take a drive and see what's going on in the city... An...

Spiritual?

What is spirituality?... This question keeps haunting me for the past few weeks. You see, a few weeks ago I've heard many conversations about "spirituality". I was even labeled "not a spiritual person...

Impermanence

It is quite the paradox. We all are trying to seek out some stability in our lives, yet the very nature of life is impermanence. Everything is like moving water, nothing stays the same. Today is entir...

Fate vs. Choice

Almost a year ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine about fate. Is everything that happens in our lives the result of our free choice? Or are some things fated to happen? On a certain level, ...
