Lee Krasner was her own artist. However, she may have lived somewhat in the shadow of her husband Jackson Pollack, the renowned abstract expressionist painter.

Despite her commitment and love to her husband and his life work, her artistic identity and expression substantially grew post his devastating death. Her masterful creation Sun Woman 1, a veritable mix of emotion, depicts her grief and her rebirth. It depicts her joy and healing offering the viewer a certain explosion of femininity.

I believe that people can survive, heal, and become whole despite the severity of fracture and live empowered celebrated lives as is reflected in Sun Woman.
