Featured 2010 Female Artists:
Nina Surel and Antonia Wright
Nina Surel’s art speaks about the life of womanhood and its perception. It is a search for identity and she expresses vulnerability and strength, both at the same time. Her body of work encompasses aesthetic beauty with a whimsical touch.
Antonia Wright Antonia Wright is a Cuban-American multi-media artist from Miami, Florida, whose work employs photography, poetry, performance, installation, and video art and the interaction between these forms to question the world around her. She received an M.A. in literature from the University of Montana and an M.F.A. in poetry from the New School University in New York City. Antonia began her photography career by living in a trailer in the Florida Everglades while apprenticing for the conservation-landscape photographer Clyde Butcher. Antonia’s photos and installations have been in numerous group shows. Her photos were in Amnesty Internationalís exposé on Cuban-American artists in Los Angeles, California. She is also the creator of The Keys Project, a multi-city project whose aim is to document and collect keys and portraits of individuals with their keys. (www.thekeysproject.com) All of her work looks into our connection to our surroundings and to ultimately wonder why we, both collectively and individually, do the things we do.
