ARTIST STATEMENT
The existence of climate change, an existential question that the world is grappling with, is amenable to intervention. Two constructive actions, Environmental Stewardship and concomitant development of Renewable Energy Sources, are the thematic focus of Gabrielle Levine’s artistic oeuvre.
What art classes did you take while at Crossroads? During Middle School, I rotated through numerous art classes, which allowed me to identify the electives I planned to pursue as an Upper School student. In Upper School, I was accepted into the Art Major Program. I completed courses in drawing, figure drawing, painting, ceramics, jewelry making and art history.
How did Crossroads help to shape or influence you as an artist? Michael Wright suggested I enroll in a class he was teaching at LACMA, saying that drawing from the “masters” would help me with “line,” which it did. He also encouraged me to apply to Summer of Art at Otis College of Art & Design. (I was accepted.) The class was taught by several professors/artists and allowed me to participate in college-level figure drawing, painting and art history. A truly valuable experience.
Coincidentally, years later I enrolled in the M.F.A. Public Practice Program at Otis, where Michael was a professor. We were now colleagues in totally different art genres, but he was incredibly supportive of my work in this new field of art.
