Studio art
editMaloff's aesthetic style is characterized by geometric compositions, the illusion of back lighting, transparencies, and spatial ambiguity. She has worked in various artistic media, including aquatint, ceramics, oils, and acrylics. However, since 2002 she has devoted herself almost entirely to the medium of digital painting.[5]
Her work has been exhibited in several solo exhibitions, including a show in August 2007 at the Thomas Knight Gallery in California,[6] in 2010 in Virtuous Realities at the Jung Center in Texas,[7] and also in 2014 at Mill and Leaf in the Arboretum in Austin, TX.[8]
At the VIII Salón de Arte Digital, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo del Zulia in Maracaibo, Venezuela, her work was commended by the jurors for its “poetic abstract expression and purity of execution.”[9]
In 2008 her work was included in the inaugural exhibit of the Museum of Computer Art in New York City.[10]
Maloff is a member of Ceres Gallery, an artist-run organization in New York City dedicated to the promotion of contemporary women in the arts.
