Congratulations to Judith Schaechter, who has been awarded a 2008 United States Artists (USA) Fellowship.
From the USA website: Judith Schaechter works exclusively in stained glass, updating a medieval form with contemporary imagery. Although stained glass is a predominantly religious and abstract art form, her work is secular and mostly figurative. She borrows freely from art historical sources such as 19thcentury fairy-tale illustrations, Pre-Raphaelite paintings, and Surrealism, as well as popular culture sources such as comics, circus posters, and folklore. Her themes are mostly dark—dealing with death, decay, and violence—evincing a Gothic sensibility. Her work is included in major craft museum collections and also appeared in the 2002 Whitney Biennial. The Lowe Museum at the University of Miami has recently acquired her piece “Infernal!” for their permanent collection.
United States Artists (USA) is a grant-making organization dedicated to supporting America's finest living artists working in a diverse array of disciplines. After decades of dwindling public support, artists now have a home where they may find significant private funding—unrestricted cash grants—to ignite the creativity that makes this country great.
