Cathy Hozack is one of my favorite artists, and it just so happens that she also has epilepsy. Cathy is showing her work for a limited time in New York City at the Denise Bibro Fine Art Gallery.
Cathy has said, “I am an artist with too much electricity in my brain: I have epilepsy. In 2008, I had brain surgery to remove the focal point of my seizures. Since then, my memory has been more limited, and the way I mentally organize images has altered. And after all that, I still have seizures. With these changes, my paintings have become more than art to me. They are a unique record of my memory, experience, and the way I perceive the world. They are a search for harmony among chaotic and conflicting elements.”
