Neva Setlow has a background in art and science. She received her art degree from Empire State College. She worked in science for more than 20 years, and as an artist for more than 50 years! She lives and works on Long Island. Her primary sculpting medium is Plexiglas.
Her artwork has been exhibited in solo and juried exhibitions in numerous galleries and museums across the country. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the Islip Museum.
According to Setlow, "Color and light have long been my areas of interest. Creating abstract sculpture using Plexiglas offers a significant ability to produce work with unique colors. Each sculpture alters when viewed from different vantage points...The composite of all the individual components creates a distinctive visual statement. The sculptures are sensitive and meditative. They are celebratory and joyful. In part they are a result of my scientific background and my appreciation of colors of the sunrises and sunsets on Long Island where I live."
