illustration with project title in a decorative scroll that reads A City of Ladies followed by handlettered introductory text: No mother can be ALL things to a child. When that child grows up wanting to be an ARTIST, she may need to find some CREATIVE MOTHERS to help her along the way. A CITY of LADIES is a MEMOIR in ESSAYS. These essays explore what ONE woman has learned (so far) from other women about how to live as a woman AND an artist. SCROLL DOWN and CLICK on the portraits to READ. Text is followed by a tall line illustration of New York city buildings on which portrait illustrations of 6 women float: Christine de PIzan, Dorothy Parker, Nina Simone, Madonna, Mary Oliver and Louise Bourgeois.
