Here are my selections of exhibitions of work by women artists in So. California for the month of June. I want to begin by recommending this month’s edition of Artnews it is a “must-read” as it is dedicated to women in the art world. *Spotlight on Cheryl Dullabaun in “Western Dreams” Exhibition at Groundspace Projects Groundspace Projects in downtown […]
Oh Mama!
I recently received a catalogue in the mail for an art exhibition “Through A Mother’s Eye: The Lifeline Work of Feminist Artist, Helen Redman.” I was so intrigued that I read it cover to cover. When this show opened at the Women’s Museum of California at San Diego’s Liberty Station at Point Loma, I […]
Tête-à-Tête
In my profession sharing my knowledge and passion of art with others is commonplace. However there are those times of sharing that stand out, and it was this morning in reflection of a recent visit to the Getty center with students that spurred this writing. I had just read a note from a student about […]
A Nod to Women Artists of the Past
Today I am sharing a list that was printed in a Huffington Post article on historical women artists. (Image: Photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron) The list is comprised of ten women artists who have been part of the curriculum of several of the courses I have taught over the years. These women artists have rarely been […]
Palm Springs Modernism
Last month, I attended Modernism Week in Palm Springs, something I have wanted to do for a few years. I began with a stroll in the Uptown Design District, where many of the furnishings looked so familiar. It was as if they were plucked from the Jetsons, or from my family home in the early […]
IN THE STUDIO with Nancy Worthington
I visited Nancy Worthington and her longtime partner Judith Fein, in their Palm Desert home/studio where they have lived since 2013. Their wonderful sprawling desert abode is filled with her art, mostly 3-dimensional mixed-media pieces with some less cumbersome works on the walls. Worthington has also made videos, collage, assemblage, a wine label and more. […]
Women Around Town
In 2009, I was asked by So. Calif. Women’s Caucus for Art President, Sandra Mueller if I would like to write the Women Around Town column for the organization’s monthly e-newsletter. As an art historian who had been teaching and researching women artists for several years it seemed like a wonderful opportunity and responsibility. […]
In the Studio with…Patricia Terrell-O’Neal
I was not surprised at all when I entered the nicely lit and tidy well-appointed space of Patricia Terrell-O’Neal’s Santa Monica Studio. It seemed well-suited to the soft-spoken woman who inhabits it nearly every day. Terrell-O’Neal knew she was going to be an artist since she was a young girl growing up in Tennessee where […]
Here Comes the Bride and Other Nightmares
Last year the very talented visual artist Freyda Miller released a book of her photographs. In conjunction with this event, she requested that I write about her work from the art historical perspective and that is what I am sharing with you here. Freyda Miller’s photography combines historical references with contemporary art making practices as […]
