Judy Schavrien

Originally from New York, Judy Schavrien has lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1990. Before that, she lived in Chicago, where she studied with the late Harold Rosenberg, art critic for *The New Yorker, * and with the late David Grene, prominent translator of the Greek tragedians. A figurative expressionist, she puts an accent on process-the visible marks of a painter’s hand, as if nerves were unsheathed. The marks often convey personal and political dislocation. With more than fifteen awards for her work in the arts, many national and international, she has been featured in cover stories and anthologies. Her books include, from New Rivers Press, *what rhymes with cancer?* and on Amazon: *Alice at the Rabbithole Cafe, * *Shot Awake-A Painter’s Memoir* and *Everything Voluptuous.*
