Hedy O'Beil
Hedy O'Beil[1] (born Henrietta Gersten) is an American modern abstract expressionist (and early modernist geometric abstract[2][3]) artist painter. Hedy won the Jackson Pollock-Lee Krasner Foundation Award[4][5], twice[6], in a competitive award program including artists from 76 countries around the world. She has been painting since the age of 5 with her brother, Gerry Gersten,[7] who was a famous American caricaturist illustrator cartoonist, who had drawn for the New York Times & Mad（humor）magazine. She has been painting for 85 years. She has shown her work in over 70 art gallery shows (20 individual and over 50 group shows) mostly in New York City and Long Island, during her career.[8] She has been a member of the American Society of Contemporary Artists (ASCA) for many years. In addition to painting all her life, she was an art gallery curator,[9] an art museum and art gallery tour guide and an art lecturer in New York City for over 40 years,[10] educating countless groups of art-minded people about art. She also was an art reviewer/critic for several art magazines, including Arts Magazine, the West Side Beat, and Manhattan Arts.
