I was delighted to be included in an insightful essay by Cate McQuaid in her “Ocean in a drop newsletter series through Substack. To read the full essay, click here
Diane Novetsky:
“On the Cusp”
In Diane’s Go-Between (two dusky blue circles exit stage left and right, but a river tethers them through a central open ring, which is blue limned in buttery yellow. This unfurls against a peach backdrop, which seems to warm around and within the center ring. Light energy, thermal energy, a throb of form, held together note by note with mouthwatering tones.”

Strange Circuitry
Artspace Maynard, March 2020
MARJORIE KAYE & DIANE NOVETSKY
“Painters Marjorie Kaye and Diane Novetsky work on different scales — Kaye crafts dense paintings on small, shaped plywood, and Novetsky often works sweepingly on larger canvases. They share a taste for abstraction in supercharged colors, a delight in rush and spin, and a pleasure in pulling formal tensions taut.”
—Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe 3/5/20
