Etta Deikman was invited. She has been painting all her life, first exhibit was in 1957 in New Haven, CT. Influential teachers: John Ferren at the Brooklyn Museum School who led her to Hans Hoffmann in New York. Deikman also spent time working under the tutelage of fellow painter Willem de Kooning at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina. "de Kooning was a real teacher and helpful to his students. I was shocked the first time I walked into his studio and saw the painting that, at the time, hung on the wall in progress, "Woman 1." Deikman considers herself an Abstract Expressionist. She paints with oil on canvas, acrylic and mixed media on paper. Her works range from fifteen inches to eight feet. She has three large scale paintings in this exhibit.
