Join us for the fourth in our series of art appreciation lectures!

Fierce Females: Women in Art, with Art Historian Jane Oneail

Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators? This program examines the history of women in art in brief and then explores the lives, careers and works of several major women artists from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, including Artemisia Gentileschi and Mary Cassatt.

Jane Oneail curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. A New Hampshire native, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as Executive Director,  and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University. For more information visit iamculturallycurious.com

This program is the fourth of five sponsored collaboratively by Converse Free Library, the Plainfield Libraries, and the Canaan Town Library. Our final lecture, on Frank Lloyd Wright and Manchester, N.H.’s Zimmerman House, will be presented on April 12. In Lyme, these programs are made possible through the generosity of Friends of Lyme Library.
