Idora Ghost #8, Original Painting

2018

Artist Comments
This is the eighth in a series of pieces done from old photographs my mother took of the now extinct amusement park, Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio. Idora Park lives in the memories of many people as it flourished from the early 1900s until the wooden roller coasters were outdated by the advent of computerized rides. Many well known music groups performed there, too.

About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.
