enough works for overlapping exhibits.
Adelman's portraits will be shown Aug. 5-
Sept. 29 at the Janice Charach Epstein Gallery
in West Bloomfield, where "Different Strokes:
Michigan Painters" also will feature the
abstract renderings of Marcia Freedman and
the computer images of Michelle Hegyi.
Almost simultaneously, there will be a fund-
raising silent auction of works donated to the gallery by vari-
ous artists, with bids ending Sept. 23.
Adelman's oil paintings, sculpture and jewelry will be on
view Sept. 2-30 at the Southfield Public Library, where they
will be divided amorw.
among three floors for a solo presentation.
"I'm really excited
showing 12 of my paintings at the
gallery," says Adelman, 62, who recently had her work on
view at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. "The group I
will have in West Bloomfield starred with paintings based on
a family photo album. From those projects, I became interest-
ed in contemporary portraits.
"I've found that painting forces me to
see things I would nor have expected, and I
capture the nuances of personality and atti-
tudes in the people who are depicted.
Although the portraits have people as the
dominant images, I look to the surround-
ings to help tell stories."

ou've heard the term
"Renaissance Man" used
to describe a person who
is multi-talented? Well, past issues
of the Jewish News have presented
stories on Susan Hershberg Adelman,
a "Renaissance Woman" from the
Detroit Jewish community.
Dr. Adelman spent a full career as a
prominent pediatric surgeon, and later
became a recognized artist, sculptor,
silversmith and jewelry maker, and a
student of Hebrew in her spare time.
While attending Wayne State
University in the 1960s, Adelman had a
hard choice to make. Should she study
art or medicine? She chose the latter and
became an outstanding physician.
In 1990, Adelman was elected the
first woman president in the 124-year
history of the Michigan State Medical
Society. After her retirement in 2002,
she devoted herself to her art, which
has been displayed at galleries around
Metropolitan Detroit. The July 30, 2004,
issue of the Jewish News featured a story
on Adelman, with photos of three of her
oil paintings.
