Four Women began as an exploration of works of teachers and their students, sparking a conversation about the importance of mentorship and support among women artists. 

Jane Rosen introduced us to the work of Daniella Dooling who was her student and first assistant. Gale Antokal was a teacher at San Jose State who taught Shannon Belardi, later recommending her for a position as Rosen’s studio assistant.  Each of these artists acknowledge a debt of gratitude to the women artists who have supported them along the way.
