About the artist:
As a young girl in Germany, Ms. Sikorski first came in contact with the impressionist school of painting through visits to the many museums and galleries in Berlin. In her teens, she was accepted to the Kunst Academy in Berlin, where she began her formal training in painting and sculpture. Soon after graduating from the Academy, Ms. Sikorski left Europe and came to the San Francisco Bay Area. She enrolled at Mills College and worked under guest instructor Max Beckman.
She taught portraiture and life drawing at the San Francisco Academy of Art from 1958 to 1965. Though she found teaching a rewarding experience, Sikorski concentrated on her portraiture, figurative and landscape painting in the following years.
