This is a true celebration of women artists who have helped shape the story of art both in their own lifetimes and with the ripple of time, our own. I am not an art historian so it was simple to devise my curatorial mission: share the women artists I know and love or discover artists that I want to know better. I also share artwork that resonates with me so it may not always be their best know or mature work. I did not always select the obvious ‘known’ names because I may not yet be a fan of their work so if your favorite is missing, that may be why.
Because the time I could give to it was limited I also decided to not dive into sculpture or other mediums (with one exception). In the end, I feel there is a strong representation of women artists throughout history and also a broad sampling of styles.
