Victoria Selbach  is a New York Contemporary Realist best known for her larger than life-size nudes. Selbach’s nudes have exhibited in galleries, museums and collections nationally, including the Heckscher Museum of Art and The Butler Institute of American Art. Selbach’s work presented in this issue is an experimental departure.  PoetsArtists  ‘Freak Out’ was the catalyst for remembering a moment when discovery and experimentation exploded in an ecstatic celebration that sizzled through a community with such fierce force that it not only changed our visual landscape but more importantly inspired generations to reach for self-determination, self-realization and the promise of freedom and access to joy.
