Maya Edelman at 'Snice

I just went down to my favorite local sandwich shop, 'Snice, and was rather struck my the delicately surreal artwork on display.

The artist is Maya Edelman, and the prints and paintings depict one or two figures against solid backgrounds. The figures are slightly surreal, as you can see in this image of a woman whose hair grows into a tree trunk. I was reminded of Amy Cutler's work, which I'm also greatly drawn to.

I really liked them and made a point of remembering the artist's name and looking her up. It was a pleasant aesthetic addition to my lunch hour...
