Timeline

Benice Horowitz was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and migrated to the United States in 1979. Her inspiration derives from the color she perceives in the landscape, tribal life and her passion for the beauty of the human form. Painting with acrylic on paper facilitated her use of gestural line and energetic brushwork. She is passionate about the application of the paint and moves with intuitive ease through an exuberant palette of rich color. Notable awards are the Medal of Honor and Dorothy Tabak Memorial Award, and the D. WU & Elsie Ject-Key Memorial Awards from the National Association of Women Artists; the Fred Kraus Memorial Award for Abstract Painting at the Faber Birren National. Horowitz lives and works in Stamford, CT.
