Pauline Chernichaw

Pauline Chernichaw was born in Ulm, Germany in 1948 and moved with her family to New York City in 1950. She studied painting at the University of Miami and Brooklyn College, then continued her studies at the International Center of Photography and New York University.

Influenced and inspired by her family background, Chernichaw’s powerfully abstract work from the her series Cocoon portrays her imaginings of being guardedly sheltered within a cocoonlike environment. Her artwork embraces a display of limited color, organically rooted and intuitively altered forms. The paintings are symbolic of people’s need for self-protection, security, comfort and safe refuge from the outside world.

Her works are included in private and permanent collections. She works and resides in the New York area where she is part of the Carter Burden Gallery art community, a member of Ceres Gallery New York, and an award-winning member of The National Association of Women Artists. Chernichaw comes from an extended family of creatives that includes painters, journalists, musicians and photographer and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.Statement
