Le Ballet by Jerry Domokur
digital media

It is always hard to find the words to express the feeling of loss when the bad news arrives – and much too easy to become melancholy. This year’s deaths of two fellow artists have been terribly sad. I had known Jerry Domokur for nearly twenty-five years. His focus on digital media began when desktop computers became readily available, expanding as technology and software changed. His work was consistently present in northeast Ohio juried shows. It would likely have been in both of the current gallery exhibits at Summit Artspace, but instead was displayed at his memorial service on the third floor.

P.J. Rogers readily embraced digital art after spending many years creating etchings and aquatints. I was privileged to meet her during the 2012 exhibit, Why Art’s Alive. She was a fascinating and inspiring woman – I wish our paths had crossed sooner.
