A Celebration of Women Artists

Lee Vasu has been hosting an annual juried exhibition of exceptional women artists at Dacia Gallery in New York’s East Village for 10 years now.

This year’s show will feature an eclectic group of 14 artists who have impressively demonstrated their life-long study of anatomy, depth, color, light and unique vision.

Among those women celebrated are renowned representational artists Paige Bradley and Erin Anderson, classically-influenced Nancy France-Vaz, and rising stars Alexandrea Nicholas-Jennings and Sherri Wolfgang.

Sherri Wolfgang was juried in for her jubilant piece, Taking Flight, part of a new series called Grounded/ Ungrounded, which speaks to the tumultuous effects of the pandemic on the typical experience of an early 20-something.

“From 2020 to 2022, nearly every area of these young adults’ lives has been ungrounded, upended and rearranged, from their experiences of finishing college, to maintaining friendships and relationships, to starting their careers,” Wolfgang says. “Rather than crystalizing their understanding of themselves and the world around them, this generation finds itself yearning for any sense of normalcy and stability.”
