Painter Continued from Page 28
“It’s really meaningful,” Edelson said.

“It gave me a view of my paintings that
I never experienced before, simply
because you don’t have enough space to
show stuff in most places.” (Edelson often
paints on 30-inch-by-40-inch canvases,
emulating the scale of some of her favorite
painters.) It would be accurate, in some sense, to
say that it all started when one of her sons,
Jon, along with his wife, Rachel, decided
that Edelson’s abstract work deserved to be
seen by a wider audience. Rachel Edelson’s
research led her to Art for the Cash Poor,
an exhibition where two of Edelson’s
paintings were displayed, and one was
even sold. Following that, it was decided
that her work merited a full show, and
Edelson was connected with local curator
Amie Potsic.

It would, however, be more accurate
to say that it all started in 1947, when
Edelson (then Zelda Toll) was a senior in
high school.
