Hautehistory

I glory in tales of women who, through beauty or talent, jump lower-class origins and burst as queens upon the glamorous grand world.  No historical company of women did so with more regular pattern and power than the great opera divas of the past.  Their rich visual and print legacy inspired my collage-based artworks and led me to tell their stories.

In A Diva's Dozen and A Dazzle of Divas, I present twenty-six opera stars through whose voices two centuries of colorful cultural history unfold.  

DIVA Museum celebrates their images and brings their life stories into wider circulation.  Twenty-six sirens of song summon us across two centuries; join me in experiencing their beguiling magic.  Visit hautehistory.com.
