American visual artist, Obie Award -winning playwright, award winning Emmy screenwriter, and former professional wrestler. As a female artist in the 60’s she received no offers because “women[sculptors] were not bankable at the time.” She made a swift shift to painting in an attempt to
gain more offers. She searched through old magazines, posters, and newspapers to source imagery for her paintings. Her self-taught process consisted of blowing up images from magazines and newspapers, collaging them onto canvas, and then painting over them in bright, saturated colors. She also has a fondness for Elmer’s Glue in her work, saying it “doesn’t get enough credit for its role in art.”
She works with bright colours and collage, combining the two mediums give an alternative approach to pop art and showing the context behind the piece.
