Reflection

Jeanette Pasin Sloan is an artist who has painted for more than five decades. She attended the University of Chicago, where she obtained her MA in art and art history. Coming of age as a painter in the decades when male art curators and critics only chose to exhibit and write about only works by male artists, Sloan worked quietly to perfect her skills as a painter. She was raised in a family of Italian immigrants, and her father founded Radio Flyer company after arriving in the U.S. She regularly traveled back to Italy with her father, and made it her life’s mission to take on the great Italian master painters as her competition.

Like many women artists, Sloan is gaining massive recognition only now. Fortunately, she is one of the few women artists who live to see the day her works are included in the permanent collections of over 50 prestigious museum collections such as The Met, The National Gallery of Art, and The Smithsonian Institution. New Mexico, Sloan’s home state, is due the opportunity to celebrate Sloan, for she is sure to be remembered by art history as one of the greatest realist painters ever to reside in the state. Don’t miss this opportunity to view her work.
