Women Artists
One of America's most individualist artists, she is best known as pioneering the technique of shaped canvas, creating works that were a combination of painting and sculpture. Many of her wall pieces have centrally located gaping holes that are menacing and give one the impression of staring deep into the cornea of an eye or into the recesses of the earth. She seldom titles her work, letting them speak for themselves.

She was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and studied at Bradford Junior (showing 500 of 2417 characters).
