Sacramento-based artist GayLynn Ribeira was inspired by half of the people on the planet for her latest series, Stages: women. As the title of the show implies, the figure painter depicts the female of the species in different phases of life, from childhood to senior citizenhood, in order to “examine both the beautiful and unpleasant stages of their lives and to see the stories written in their eyes.”
