Artist's Bio:

Floss Romm Dworkin and her husband, Stan, have an interesting past as people that had a passion for healthy living whether it was plants or baking. Floss started out as a dancer after she graduated with fine arts degrees from City College. They hosted a long time segment on WNBC TV New Center 4 called "The Garden Spot" where they dealt with home horticulturalists and tackled the everyday problems of the limitations to a home garden in cramped New York City apartment. Their light hearted humor and knowledge led to a following from the 1970s into the 1980s. They traded their West End Avenue apartment for a bucolic 19th Century Suffern farmhouse with some land around 1977. They cultivated a garden, wrote books on horticulture and cooking and healthy baking. Floss started to hone her craft as a promising artist in the paint and print medium in the 1970s and had her mature period in the 1980s and early 1990s. Teaching art she produced some of her best work in Post Modern portraiture. Some of her watercolor output is somewhat reminiscent of Egon Schiele. She was always working due to her extensive output of finished and unfinished works on paper, canvas, or the copper plate. See less
