MY ART IS MY VOICE
Ione’s art has shown nationally since 1998 when, after years of world
travel, a successful television, radio, theatre and film career in the performing
arts, she decided to focus her richly diverse talents on the visual arts. Ione’s
artistic expression, creativity, and passion for communication have resulted
in numerous awards for her painting, sculpture, mixed media, and assemblage.
Her work has also been featured in several important
publications. Ione maintains an extensive exhibition schedule in juried, non-juried,
and invitational arts venues.
“Ione Citrin is one of the most dedicated artists of our day, painting,
sculpting and mixing media with delightful abandon. She turns out piece after
piece, and the work has a purity of expression that is rare in an artist that
is as eclectic herself.”

“Thank you for submitting your work to Montserrat College of Art Gallery.
In reviewing your works it is apparent that your creative energy knows no boundary.
Your courageous experimentation with a variety of techniques and styles is a
testament
to your devotion to the arts. I was most impressed with your mixed-media work,
which provides the viewer with the opportunity to enter and explore the environments
you’ve created.”
Leonie Bradbury, Director/Curator-Montserrat College
of Art Galleries
“You are an artist who has no fear of any medium. Never change.”

A Statement by Ione Citrin: I DREAM, THEREFORE, I
AM
I CREATE ART BECAUSE I MUST.
IT IS A NECESSARY EXTENSION OF MY LIFE.
IT IDENTIFIES AND SUBSTANTIATES MY EXISTENCE.
IT IS MY PROFILE AND MY LEGACY.
I WANT TO INTRIGUE AND ENTERAIN.
I WANT TO INITIATE WONDER AND QUESTIONS.
I WANT TO COMMUNICATE MY THOUGHTS, DREAMS AND DESIRES.
MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO BE!
