Early life and educationUshenko was born in Princeton, New Jersey.[1] She earned a painting certification from the Art Institute of Chicago in (1964), a B.A. degree in English literature at Indiana University in 1965, an M.A. in painting at Northwestern University in 1967, and a doctoral degree in art history at Northwestern University in 1978.[3] WorkUshenko has had more than 20 solo shows and participated in numerous group exhibitions.[3] She is represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art in New York City.[3] Ushenko's background in English literature has influenced her work as a painter, but she also she draws on Greek mythology, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century images, and everyday social interactions.[1] She typically manipulates light and shadow, which lends her work an impressionist style.[4] The art critic Gerrit Henry called Ushenko "a master chronicler of realities small and large," noting that she enlivens even inanimate objects.[5] Ushenko sometimes uses herself as a model, as do many artists; she has stated that this is mostly out of convenience, not autobiography.[1] Ushenko sometimes paints figural groups, often in their authentic surroundings, but seeks to explore the nature of social interaction through her relationship to the natural and constructed worlds, and by questioning their relationships.[4] She routinely paints the same model in related positions, although they often contrast; for example, one model may be portrayed in shade and the other in full sunlight, which subtly reveals a sense of duality and dichotomy.[1] In many of Ushenko's paintings, something appears to have just happened or is just about to occur.[5] According to Ushenko, the meaning of a work develops as she paints, rather than being determined from the outset.[1] In Vanitas VIII, for example, there appear to be five images of Ushenko in one room, which seems to comment on the multiple faces that each person has and displays, often in a single day.[6] In her painting at the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine at the University of Chicago Hospitals, she was so inspired by the "magnitude of the ongoing human drama being quietly played out day after day" in the hospital that she wanted to create a work to display it.[7] Patients and staff were able to watch Ushenko paint and many were incorporated into the three-story monument.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite journal|last=Agar|first=Eunice|title=Audrey Ushenko|journal=American Artist Magazine|date=March 1987|volume=51|pages=42–45}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Audrey Ushenko, Ph.D.|website=Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne|accessdate=18 March 2018|url=https://www.ipfw.edu/departments/cvpa/depts/fine-arts/bios/bios/ushenko.html?host_id=84836d05-6654-4a48-a37e-c3417cda5138}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Audrey Ushenko: CV|website=Denise Bibro Fine Arts|url=http://assets-p.artcat.com/file_uploads/file_asset/asset/b938d144b568ffb74ab33c3264578e065dfcbd54/8b628548a7e7a5d75ec990a85cb8f6d5.pdf|accessdate=18 March 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite journal|last=Henry|first=Gerrit|title=Audrey Ushenko at Denise Bibro|journal=Art in America|date=May 1999|page=160}} 5. ^1 {{cite journal|last=Henry|first=Gerrit|title=Audrey Ushenko at Denise Bibro|journal=Art in America|date=March 2003|page=123}} 6. ^{{cite journal|last=Henry|first=Gerrit|title=Audrey Ushenko at Denise Bibro|journal=Art in America|date=January 1994|page=105}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=Artist immortalizes atrium at University of Chicago hospitals|website=The University of Chicago Medicine|date=5 January 2006|accessdate=10 March 2013|url=http://www.uchospitals.edu/news/2006/20060105-atrium.html}} External links
