Brooklyn-based artist Oona Ratcliffe uses vibrant color and combines hundreds of small shapes to create paintings of great visual impact. Ratcliffe holds a BFA from the University of California, Santa Cruz and an MFA from Hunter College. In addition to numerous solo and group shows in New York and California, she has done a residency at the Yaddo artist’s community in Saratoga Springs, New York and was awarded a travel grant by Hunter College which she used to study art at the Ecole de Louvre, Paris.
