"As a woman artist, I do feel like I am working harder to try to get my name out there as well as my art seen without being told that I’m successful only because of being engaged to a successful male artist. My hopes are to bring a strength and beauty in the paintings I create that lightly touch upon issues that women have to deal with in society" - Shana Levenson.
