Ocean Impressions: Collage Meditations on Water
with artist Tina Seligman

Tina Seligman is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, writer, video artist, and curator based in Queens, New York. Her work has been widely exhibited across Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, and Saratoga Springs, NY. Recent highlights include her participation in In Her Hands: Women Creating and Connecting in Community at the Steinberg Museum of Art (2025), Femina Creativa at the Queens College Art Center (2024), and The Future is Now at the Queens College Klapper Hall Gallery (2024).

Seligman’s 2020 installation Wave Form at The Garage Art Center in Bayside, NY, and her solo exhibit Solar-Lunar Transcriptions at Flushing Town Hall (2018) showcase her fascination with the rhythmic patterns found in nature, drawing from water, solar, lunar, and tidal cycles. These exhibits integrated mixed media, original compositions, poetry, video, and interactive elements. Her music for Wave Form was performed by jazz artist Iga Mrozek, while flutist Jo Brand interpreted her compositions for Solar-Lunar Transcriptions. Seligman's piece September Etude was also featured in George Z. Xiong's video Heaven, Earth, Circle, Square.

As a video artist, Seligman collaborated with Dan Rubin for her 2016 work Solar-Lunar Suite for Four Seasons, screened at the New York Independent Film Festival. She has also created experimental videos with couture designer Alicia Mugetti. In her role as an art journalist, Seligman contributed to Art of the Times and authored essays for notable art publications, including Duoling Huang: The Cultural Landscape and The Structure of a Landscape: Paintings by George Z. Xiong (2023). Her poetry has appeared in The Feral Press and other literary quarterlies.

In addition to her creative work, Seligman has curated exhibitions, including Tribal Baroque: Moments and Metamorphoses, a 2018 solo show of Dan Rubin's photography at Flushing Town Hall, where she has also served as a Teaching Artist-in-Residence since 2000. A graduate of Queens College with a BA in Visual Art, Seligman has pursued further studies in music and movement, focusing on viola, fiddle, and Isadora Duncan dance techniques, enriching her work's rhythmic and performative dimensions.


Ocean Impressions: Collage Meditations on Water Ocean Impressions: Collage Meditations on Water," an environmentally-focused art workshop led by artist Tina Seligman. In this 90-minute creative journey, you'll explore the fascinating intersection of nature and art through cyanotypes—ethereal blue sun prints that transform natural elements and found objects into stunning collages.

After a demonstration of the sun printing process by Tina, you will use cyanotypes by the artist to cut, collage and create your own story about our relationship with the ocean. Sun Print paper info will be available to enable you to continue your artistic exploration at home. Join us for this hands-on workshop where environmental awareness meets creative expression.
