Description
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.
For nearly five decades, her work has centered on her life passages--including pregnancy, mothering, illness, healing and the death of a child--and on various stages of her children's growth.
Redman, who was born in 1940, has focused in recent years on exploring women's journey through menopause and old age and contradicting the negativity provoked by aging in a sexist and youth-oriented culture. In the tradition of artist as shaman, healer and educator, she uses her art and teaching abilities to encourage women to claim their age as a time of heightened creativity and spiritual growth.
