From AskArt:

Born in Gary, Indiana, and living in Chicago, Hollis Sigler adopted a "faux" naive style of painting as a mocking reaction against a culture that she perceived treats women like children. She also found this style one that most people can relate to, and staying at this level, she created works that are purposefully awkward.

 

Sigler studied art in Florence, Italy from 1968 to 1969, and in 1970, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Moore College of Art. In 1973, she received a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited widely including the 1981 Whitney Biennial and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. She has been on the faculty of Columbia College in Chicago, teaching painting and drawing.
