Exposing Yourself to the Performing Arts
BVT 2013
"I am an artist. I live, breathe and feel art everyday. Art is my inner world of dreams, fantasies and exploration." Bold and Daring Women in the Arts was my newest book released in 2025 by Kendall Hunt Publishing. Art is everywhere. Being an artist is learning how to see, perceive, enlighten, and evoke. My textbook “Exposing Yourself to the Performing Arts" published by BVT has paintings from my sepia series: Beatrice and Aphrodite inspired by the High Renaissance era. The book is on the shelves of international libraries, including: Oxford University Bodleian Library, Harvard University Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Yale University Sterling Memorial Library, Columbia University Music and Arts Library Dodge Hall, Cornell University- Sidney Cox Library, Rutgers Douglass Library, The RADA- Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, University of Chicago Regenstein Library, Oberlin College Library, The Spertus Museum Library, Jewish Theological Seminary Library, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni Venice, Italy, UCLA Music library, University of Tel Aviv -Buchamann Mehta Music Library, Rijksmuseum Research Library, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Fondazione Maxxi Museum, Rome, Italy, The Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain, Musee d'orsay, Paris, France, The MCA Sydney, Australia, The Jewish Museum in Prague, Lake Forest Library, Eastman School of Music Library, St. Mark's Bookstore, NYC Orwig Music Library at Brown University, New York University Library, and the Art Institute's Ryerson Burnham Library.
Having traveled to Rome and Paris I returned with a unique aesthetic, balancing the inner spirit and the material world. Reworking the ideology of mythological imagery, busts, religious figures, icons, abstracts, nudes, the celestial, and the power of landscape, I seek to uncover a common denominator in our civilization.
