It’s well known in the art world that female artists remain dramatically underrepresented in museums and galleries. It is a complex dilemma — in part due to a lack of research into female artists, entrenched biases, and, what artist Andrea Fraser calls the tendency for institutions to cater to “established tastes and the spectacle of fame or of genius.”

My goal with the book is to create a platform for nine female artists. By offering a glimpse into their processes, I hope to bring attention to and foster an appreciation for their work, and the journey it took to get there.

My hope is that readers will find inspiration in the spaces, experiences, and voices of the artists in this book — that they discover work that they love, and curate a body of work that speaks to them.
