Feminism and activism have guided me ever since. She co-founded the public art organization, SPARC, in Venice California, and have received public art commissions in California, New York and New Hampshire. She has exhibited paintings in galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Provincetown and East Hampton and received grants from the Pollock-Krasner and Gottleib Foundations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I painted the Tomboy paintings in the early &#8217;90&#8217;s when I was searching to recapture a certain vital essence of spirit which I felt I wanted to embody in both my life and my art.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Christina Schlesinger.
