Born in 1937 in New York City, Minkowitz trained as a fine artist at the renowned Cooper Union in the city’s East Village. Along with this training, she brings to her creative work the impressive skills of a lifelong needle artist and a fearless approach to using materials: she’s worked with cotton threads, wire, hog gut, resin, shellac, wood, beads, glass, metallic rivets, twigs, and found objects. The resulting work is strikingly original and expressive. Her first pieces were crafty: wall hangings, stuffed animals, and knitted and crocheted clothing for her children. Soon, Minkowitz began submitting designs to women’s magazines, and her work was featured in Women’s Day and McCall’s. As her children grew, she moved her creative life forward by entering—and winning—competitions at craft shows. Over the next decades…
