Sheila Hicks (b. 1934 in Hastings, Nebraska) received her BFA (1957) and MFA (1959) degrees from the Yale School of Art, when Josef Albers presided there. Awarded a Fulbright scholarship to paint in Chile, she photographed indigenous weavers and archaeological sites throughout the Andes. This, along with extended trips to the volcanic region of Villarrica, the island of Chiloé, and Tierra del Fuego, continue to influence her work to this day. In 1967 she established a studio in the quartier Latin in Paris, where she continues to live and work.
