| Merrilyn Duzy is an American artist, lecturer, and instructor in Art Studies and painting with a worldwide exhibition history. A founder of the Florida West Coast Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art and past-President of the Southern California chapter, she is widely regarded for her series on Women's Place in Art History and her work celebrating female eroticism. Born in 1946, Duzy grew up in Southern California. Her Catholic upbringing sparked an interest in religious art. An illustrated family Bible depicting saints in bondage and ecstasy engendered her life-long fascination with the spiritual side of eroticism. In the 1970s, she curated several controversial exhibitions including, "Erotic Visions" in Westwood, California—the first such exhibit of women's erotic art on the west coast. Inspired by the feminist art movement, Duzy realized that women's place in Art History was significantly under-represented. In 1982 she created her illustrated lecture, "Walking Through History: Women Artists Past and Present," which she has presented in the United States, Israel, and Asia. In the early 1980s, she produced her most important and unique series of oil paintings, Women Artists in History, representing Thirty artists beginning with 10th-century Spanish nun Ende and concluding with Frieda Kahlo. In this remarkable achievement, each portrait is painted in that artist's style, capturing her work's stunning beauty and the importance of her work. After earning her Master of Fine Arts Degree at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1988, Duzy has taught and lectured at Los Angeles City College, Mission College, Sylmar, CA, and The Atelier Art Center. She continues to exhibit her work throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Merrilyn Duzy lives in Southern California, where she paints, curates, and lectures. In Her latest work, Ms. Duzy explores new directions with imagery of the cosmos, spirituality, and landscapes based on her extensive world travels. |
