    Hi Walt, I think she was originally from Lithuania and she moved to the US in her teens. She landed in prison several times for her activities. I’m glad this piece and quote are generating strong discussion and feelings. :))

    I love your expression in this work :) Lovely brush stroke that gives personality in it, it makes it strong :)

  • John Dicandia replied

    Thank you Poisonlolly, I wanted the painting to look dark and foreboding by using that technique with the brushstrokes. :))
