Jeanette Pasin Sloan is an American artist in her late 70s who lives in New Mexico. Her works are collected by major institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery. Despite her significant contributions to the discipline of painting, she hasn’t had a solo exhibition in New Mexico for over a decade. Turner Carroll is dedicated to showcasing her as a pivotal woman realist painter via a comprehensive exhibition of her oil paintings, prints, and drawings.
Pasin Sloan is the daughter of an Italian immigrant who founded the Radio Flyer wagon company. Sloan grew up navigating two cultures and spoke Italian and English at home. Her father often took her to Italy to see renowned artworks in museums, which fueled her desire to paint the best pictures possible. She worked from her kitchen table after putting her children to bed and earned an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago.
Sloan’s kitchen studio inspired her detailed paintings of everyday objects, including her chrome toaster, which offered new insights into reflections and shapes. This focus has influenced her work for decades, allowing her to surpass many male artists of her time.
Today, there is a growing interest in rediscovering women artists who were historically overlooked. Sloan is among those women who are gaining recognition, and her work is now being exhibited alongside male peers like Philip Pearlstein. As she steps into the spotlight, we are excited to support her journey toward the worldwide acclaim she deserves.
