| Gregory Disney-Britton's lithograph of Mary Snowden's "Untitled" (2000) |
On the 10th Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a limited-edition print by Bay area artist
Mary Snowden. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1940, she is perhaps best known for her humorous collages about the suburbs and motherhood, oil paintings, and her art stitchings. More recently, she has been depicting rural farm life. Notably, she was the first female artist to win the SECA Award from the Museum of Modern Art in 1974. Today's
gift, created by
Mary Snowden is from a suite created by artists at the
Tamarind Institute.
