Jeanne Miles (1908 - 1999) was an extraordinary woman, who lived her entire
life producing and celebrating art. While she became one
of the first female members of "the Club", the regular meetings of the Abstract Expressionists in New York, her work grew increasingly more geometric.
An avid scholar of mysticism, Miles' work seeks to explore the divine
and spiritual truth and her mandalas serve as meditations on ritualistic
designs. Influenced by Tantric art as well as Islamic and Tibetan
work, her pieces draw the viewer in to contemplate the universal mysteries.
