"Since the early 1960s, my work has centered on life passages - including pregnancy, mothering, death of a child, the various stages of my children’s growth and my own aging. In a pre-feminist era, I integrated my maturation as an artist with my motherhood when the two were considered oppositional. In my work on menopause and aging, I continue to defy artistic and societal norms, empowering women by giving voice to the full range of female experience." Helen Redman, MFA, is a widely exhibited figurative painter, teacher, feminist commentator and grandmother who shares her art in the context of life issues. She has taught at the University of Colorado and the University of Iowa and has lectured and exhibited her art across the United States. She has been an active force for gaining support and recognition for women in the arts, co-founding Front Range Women in the Visual Arts in Boulder, Colorado, in the 1970s, and serving as the first president of the San Diego Women's Caucus for the Arts in the 1990s. |
