Women's Art Institute

Works Initiated at Women’s Art Institute

In June 2018, I received a scholarship to attend the Women’s Art Institute, a month long intensive where I developed a portfolio of work.

We studied art history, the status of women artists, visited contemporary women artists’ studios, attended guest lectures by artists, curators, museum executives, developed a body of work and participated in rigorous critiques.
