[Self-taught American-born painter. At various times of her career, Ms. Nevelson has been associated with cubism, surrealism and been categorized as an outsider artist. Her grandmother, Louise Nevelson 1899-1988, was best known as an abstract expressionist and sculptor.
In the 1960's, she briefly cooperated with Salvador Dali in a project that was never finalized.][Ms. Nevelson's paintings are usually of male faces, female bodies and horses.]
One of a handful of surviving t-shirts hand-painted by Neith in the 1980's.
[Largely ignored for many years by the art-world, Ms. Nevelson has achieved a cult-like following that continues to attract the curious back to Neith's world time and time again, long after many artists would have been forgotten. In the 1980's she was simply known as "the t-shirt lady on the bike" by the locals in Miami, a nickname she earned due to her habit of selling hand-painted t-shirts from her bike in the streets.]
[Throughout Ms. Nevelson's life has been the subject of newspaper and magazine articles, documentaries and book proposals.]
