Obituary for Adele Edelman Kamp
About Adele Kamp, June 8,1935 - October 27, 2020:
Inspired by the poetry she teaches and writes, Adele captures on
canvas what William Blake captures on paper. “Her paintings share
with the viewer the vital sources that inspire her to open like a
flower to life, drink in the nourishment from the earth, process
the sunlight and burst towards the heavens like child like
enthusiasm.” Adele Kamp has exhibited her art at Driftwood
Galleries, Peekskill NY; Lincoln Center, NY; Summa Galleries,
Brooklyn Heights, NY; Mamaroneck Artist Guild, NY; Wellfleet Art
Gallery, Mass.; Lambert Furniture and Decorator Showcases, NY
among other prestigous galleries.
“Adele’s canvases reflect mysticism and tranquility the colors are
serene and peaceful, creating their own special beauty. Inspired
by the Gardens of Giverny, the Biblical streets of Jerusalem, and
the spell of Sante Fe. They lift us into a world of memory and
dreams.” Adele has had One Woman Shows at Gallery 91 in Brooklyn
Heights, the Marri Gallery in Mamaroneck, NY, Lambert Studios,
