...... and the artist sits in her studio in the Swiss mountains finishing another of her vibrant, inspired paintings. This one is of flowers - magical, colorful, robust. Like a modern-day Seraphine de Senlis, the artist - who signed her work simply as Ada - shunned publicity and worked hard to earn a living, but quietly painted and painted, her work collected by international and local collectors. Ada’s source of inspiration was her deep, enduring love for life and this flowed from her hands into her work - drawings, sketches, paintings, people, faces, flowers, each a world unto itself. Just like the artist. Sister of the famous South African sculptor and Art Professor Lippy Lipshitz, Ada was born in South Africa, and studied in London before settling in Switzerland. Her paintings are ripe with color and feeling - each one a visual and emotional gift that expresses the deep connection and joy that Ada had with life and humanity.
