About Artist: Rena Small, born in Los Angeles in 1954, earned her B.F.A. in 1975 and M.F.A. in 1977 from Cal Arts in Valencia. As a conceptual artist, she integrates photography, installation, language-based art, and painting to push artistic boundaries. She was among the first female artists to study Feminism and Art in an academic setting, contributing to the creation of "Anonymous Was a Woman" in 1975. Her work is featured in numerous prestigious museum collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Museum, and the Norton Simon Museum. Reviews and publications of her art have appeared in major media outlets such as LIFE, Art Forum, The New York Times, and Christie's Magazine, with her portraits of artists' hands included in notable books and exhibitions. From 1978 to 1990, she taught photography at institutions like the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and various universities in California, and she now lives and works south of Downtown Los Angeles.
