The Gallery at West Side
Artist of the Month: April
The artist for April is Alice Jacob. She has done independent study in photography at Fordham University at Lincoln Center, the International Center of Photography, and Pratt Institute. Alice is also affiliated with the National Association of Women Artists and Salute to Women in the Arts, and has won many awards, most recently the Hazel White Memorial Award and the Esther K. Gayner Memorial Award. She has shown her work in many galleries, including the Galleries at the Interchurch Center and the Salmagundi Club, both in NYC, as well as galleries in Englewood, Closter, and Moorestown. Alice has always loved photography and feels that when she is behind the camera, she is "sneaking up on [her] subject and invisible." Alice says that photography "sharpened my senses and frames what I see and how I feel . . . I connect with it all when it is right. I lose myself and I cease to care what is going on around me. I'm in a zone that I can only describe as heightened awareness of what I must capture and make mine." Remember: 25% of sales go to West Side.
