The daughter of a Holocaust survivor, Carol Radsprecher says, “a lot of my work is about suffering.” Trained as a painter, influenced by such diverse artists as Jenny Saville, William Kentridge, the German Expressionists, and Matisse, she painted mainly in acrylics on unstretched canvases and Claybord. Then in 2000 she acquired a computer, learned to use Photoshop, and transformed her method and the speed of composition. Her digital prints allow a spontaneity of creation that she finds imaginatively stimulating and rewarding. Her website is http://www.carolradsprecher.com.

Carol Radsprecher is a painter and digital printmaker in Brooklyn, NY, with a BFA and MFA from Hunter College, CUNY. After many years of painting, she taught herself the amount of Photoshop she needed to start drawing and coloring on her ancient Mac. She found digital media well-suited to making a succession of rapidly-evolving narrative images based on distorted representations of the human body, especially the female body (her body). Her work has appeared in several solo shows and numerous group shows and has been published in print and/or online publications. Her website is https://www.carolradsprecher.com
