Sculpture, Metal on Other
Size: 0.4 W x 0.4 H x 1 D in
17 1/2" high x 8" wide x 6" deep - bronze sculpture "Dominatrix" - Hunter left home for the "Great Beyond/The Land of Milk & Honey", otherwise known as Hollywood, when she was only 17. She wanted to be in the movies, she wanted to be a star, she wanted fame and fortune, she wanted to be recognized as a great beauty and a marvelous talent. She got as far as the chorus line in a Las Vegas review called "Dominatrix". But Hunter was thrilled to get this gig. She wasn't a great dancer, but somehow made it through the auditions to be a line dancer in a show with an unlimited run in Las Vegas. Her dream was to dance the lead role in the show. She never made the leading role, but stuck it out in the chorus, learning a lot from her experiences in "Vegas". When the review ended she went back to Hollywood; she got a waitress job in a local coffee shop and joined the ranks of the "hopefuls" in their quest for anything that would bring them into "movieland" and all the goodies that went with it. Did she succeed? That's for you to decide.

"MY ART IS NOW MY VOICE"Ione's art has shown nationally since 1998 when, after years of world travel, a successful television, radio, theatre and film career in the performing arts, she decided to focus her richly diverse talents on the visual arts.Ione's artistic expression, creativity, and passion for communication have resulted in numerous awards for her painting, sculpture, mixed media, and assemblage. Her work has also been featured in several important publications. Ione maintains an extensive exhibition schedule in juried, non-juried, and invitational arts venues.My art reaches out from my heart, guts, body and soul to all!Ever since I can remember I've always had a desire to communicate with every person in the world.At first I thought I could accomplish this through travel. And so I did. I toured through India, Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, South and Central America, plus the more usual places in the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean and the like. I even scoured more remote areas of the world like Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, Myanmar, Nepal, Srinigar. There is almost nothing or no one which has escaped my eye.Throughout these countries I managed to speak with everyone I could. I've taped, recorded and photographed my conversations from inside the huts of African villages to the alleys of remote towns in China. I've shared beetle-nuts with women squatting in circles in temple areas in Algeria. Been in places where no one had ever heard of the Jewish religion. I could go on with my endless adventures...endlessly. But they did not satisfy my thirst for communication.Then there was my performing career. I appeared on television every morning in the Chicago area for WLS-TV. My show was called "The Prize Movie With Ione." Here I chatted and connected with fellow Chicagoans five mornings a week from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. for over seven years. The show was the highest rated television show in that time slot.For over thirty years I performed on a variety of television and radio commercials. With an ear for mimicry, and an ability to sight-read I was a "natural" for voice-overs. I sang, and did multiple voices on all sorts of recordings in the Chicago and Midwest area. The average listener was unaware of whom I was, because doing commercials as a "voice" is anonymous, particularly when I did a huge range of voices similar to Mel Blanc.
