SUMMARY:Creative Zen featuring Deborah Perlman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a CreativeZen session featuring Deborah Perlman\, 
 an Abstract Geometric 3-D Collage Artist.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nSouth 
 Florida artist Deborah Perlman is a graduate of Boston University (BFA\, 
 sculpture) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA\, sculpture). After graduate 
 school\, Perlman ventured into communications\, enriching her creativity 
 through travel and special assignments. Since dedicating herself to art 
 full time\, she has been featured in several art publications and her work 
 has appeared in exhibitions nationwide including three solo exhibitions 
 from 2023 – 2024. Perlman’s work is held in private collections\, and 
 she is a member of regional and national professional artist 
 organizations.\n\nPerlman creates abstract geometric 3-D collage by 
 transforming flat images into raised architectural forms that add depth\, 
 texture\, and shadows. She cuts\, scores\, and folds paper to create the 
 forms\, then combines them with materials like photographs\, wood\, and 
 metal. Juxtaposing these forms\, she highlights their points of contact and 
 the shadows they cast. Each piece invites the viewer to travel through 
 doorways\, walkways\, ramps\, and passages\, leading them on a journey to 
 spaces filled with mystery\, questions and the unknown.\n\nThe artist finds 
 inspiration from the form\, structure and styles of African sculpture\; the 
 Constructivism\, Geometric Abstraction\, and Cubism art movements\; the 
 work of Louise Nevelson\; the ‘illogical perspective’ of Giorgio de 
 Chirico and M.C. Escher\; Joseph Cornell’s shadow boxes\; and Frank 
 Stella’s metal reliefs\, among many others. Her concerns for the 
 environment\, reactions to global conflicts\, and personal life experiences 
 contribute to the subject matter she addresses.\n\nDoors open at 8:30am for 
 coffee\, tea\, breakfast bites and community gathering. The panel begins 
 promptly at 9:00am.\n\n🎟️ Free & open to the public\n📍 Cotilla 
 Gallery\, Alvin Sherman Library @ NSU\n🚗 RSVP to receive your free 
 parking link via email\n\n \n\nCreativeZen was born out of Choose954’s 
 mission to connect\, engage\, and inspire the local creative community 
 through meaningful storytelling. Supported by Nova Southeastern 
 University’s Alvin Sherman Library and their Circle of Friends Board\, 
 CreativeZen has hosted over 70 talks across 7 years—each one offering a 
 spark of insight\, connection\, and inspiration.\n\nEvents include a 
 complimentary guided meditation\, followed by a short\, insightful talk or 
 discussion. You don’t have to be an artist to attend—just bring your 
 curiosity and an open heart.\n\n \n\nThis event is an associated program of 
 the Mirrored Realities exhibit. To learn more about the exhibit\, visit
