A 24-page color catalogue was published in conjunction with her solo show, “Balancing Acts”, at the R. Michelson Galleries. She is a Juried Signature Member with Distinction of both the National Association of Women Artists and American Women Artists.
Post creates paintings of powerful women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. These works occupy a mythic place in our consciousness, and question what we know about the world.
Most of the settings of the paintings are composites of remembered places from her childhood on the New England coast, her home in western Massachusetts, and her extensive travels. She combines landscapes, seascapes, architecture, people, and birds that have never existed together in reality. She has always drawn and painted the figure. Her work also reflects the geometry of patterns, the painterly flow of skies, shape-shifting striped tents, and women on the cusp of change and in sync with the natural world. In the larger work, her viewpoint is just outside the picture plane – one more step and you can enter the narrative of the painting.
