An Artist who made her own Mark

"Grace Hartigan was a unique and talented artist in her own right who was best known for her Abstract Expressionist painting of the 1940's & 50's. She was one of only a few artists who managed to hang out at the rough and tumble Cedar Bar, the haunt of the era's most notable artists, De Kooning, Pollock and Rothko.
The movie admirably demonstrates that early period of American artists, hard living and drinking as well as how Grace was truly a contemporary of the period's best artists in every sense, despite the chauvinist environment. Clearly her work rivaled the better known artist of the time."
An Excellent Indie Selection

"This is a powerful, nuanced film about an important woman artist, one who has left a vast legacy of work and students as testaments to her vision. Very well produced and tightly shot -- not to be missed!"
