Women Artists

By | |

I would like to introduce to you some of my favorite women artists.  Molly, over at Her Speak, posted about some of her favorites. 

Without further introduction, here are some to get you thinking, exploring and looking.

Media:  Fiber, Mixed Media Installation

I just discovered her artwork this year.  She had a solo exhibit at the contemporary art museum here in Madison.  Her work is totally up my alley.
 
Two abstract paintings with swirling colors, lines, and shapes are displayed in a gallery setting.

Media:  Installations, Photographs, Conceptual

I had the opportunity to hear her speak at an art convention and get her autograph and a photo taken with her.

A surreal scene featuring a woman in a blue room surrounded by floating orange fish.

Art installation of people, furniture, and room entirely covered in orange cheese puffs, mimicking a cocktail party scene.
This is so amazing, because it is not an artwork created by a computer, it is an actual scene made of cheese puffs! 

Media: Sculpture, Painting
Status:  Died in 1970
Abstract painting with colorful geometric shapes, including squares, rectangles, and various patterns on a blue background. This vibrant work showcases the unique perspective of women artists in the modern art scene.
A pile of small, round, gold-colored balls on a square piece of fabric, placed on a dark surface, evokes the meticulous craftsmanship often seen in works by women artists.
Two abstract, ghostly figures: one dark with a hat, the other light and faceless, holding flowers, set against a muted background.
More to come later!!

    Yay Sandy Skoglund! I also saw her speak at a convention, a number of years ago in NY. She was AWESOME. I've never introduced her to students, but maybe this year. I think they'd love it.
