Margaret Danielak, Owner of Pasadena-based DanielakArt and author of A Gallery without Walls, will conduct the "first ever" Feminist Art Tour of Pasadena's Norton Simon Museum. The tour will highlight the work of the female artists in the permanent collection including Elisabeth-Louise Vigee-Le Brun, Berthe Morisot, Barbara Hepworth, and include the current exhibition of WCA 2009 honoree, Ruth Weisberg who is the first living artist to be honored with a one woman (one artist) exhibition at the Norton Simon.

Weisberg, who is the Dean of the University of Southern California's Gayle Garner Roski School of Fine Arts, has received numerous honors including a Senior Research Fulbright Fellowship to Italy in 1992. In 2007 her work was featured in a retrospective organized by the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

Danielak, who is the daughter of artists, will draw upon her experience as an artist rep and curator to introduce these important works of art to tour participants and discuss their relevance to women in today's art world.

Note you will have to pay your own admission fee to the museum but otherwise, it will be free. You do not have to be a member of the Women's Caucus for Art to join this Tour.

ABOUT OUR NEW ARTISTS JULIE SNYDER AND MARK VENAGLIA:

A native of Scotland, Julie Snyder studied drawing and painting at the Glasgow School of Art. She forged her craft as an illustrator in advertising, publishing and the motion picture industry, including Warner Bros. Her artistic career has spanned both sides of the Atlantic and included several years of residence in Southern Spain.

Botanical painter and Trompe L'oeil master Mark Venaglia was the featured Green Artist in the American Society of Interior Design's 43rd annual Showcase House. Called "one of the most exciting artists in America today" by The New York Times, the artist is currently working on a large commission for one of DanielakArt's collectors. Venaglia, who created a mural diptych of giant poppies for the PerCent for Art Program in Pasadena, utilizes earth friendly casein fresco paint on organic muslin for all of his paintings and murals.

Shown above are three images from each of the artists, Sea Anenome "Rituals" by Mark Venaglia, "Summer Day in Madrid, New Mexico" by Robert G. Stevens and "Rehearsal" by Julie Snyder.
