Since the early 1960s, she has been creating, teaching and presenting art from a uniquely female perspective; continuously exploring body image, personal identity, and life cycle experience. 

Redman's series of paintings and drawings on motherhood (1962-2015) is designed to show the magnitude and variety of a prodigious journey to the other side of birth. Spanning six decades of art, each painting is a lifeline that pulls the artist and us through pregnancy, the sudden death of a young child, the birth of two more children and, later, the arrival of three grandchildren.

Motherhood calls us into an ecstatic celebration of life. Through these colorful portraits, Redman serves witness to the continuous creation of what it means to become a human being.

 

“The rawness of age and the complexity of the aging process as explored by Redman in her deeply personal works is too often absent in the public sphere. This distinctive artistic vision honed by Redman over many decades began with work about creation—the birth of her children—and another form of human transformation, pregnancy.”  Amy Galpin, Ph.D. is the Curator of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College and the former Associate Curator, Art of the Americas, at the San Diego Museum of Art.
