Biography
| Selene dePackh working as Prodiga diNero... artworks, writing and other crimes. Noir comics, graphic novels, digital artworks by a classically trained artist in the European Academic tradition. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1957, she is a classically trained artist, receiving her first instruction from her grandfather, a product of the Royal Academy of London Schools of Art. Her father was a nuclear physicist and her mother was a musician, so both hemispheres of her brain were activated at an early age. She enjoys using her skills as an artist and writer in the fabrication of exquisitely refined pieces of subversion. Her works often re-tool a foundation of primordial myth. Her most recent major public showing was as a part of “Seno Guerriero,” an exhibition of images of Amazonian women held at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Commune di Bondeno, Ferrara. She lives in Pittsburgh with her refreshingly normal partner— and several cats, one of whom is quite strange |
