Artist Bio

Cecile Gray Bazelon was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Bazelon studied at Syracuse University in New York where she obtained her BFA and won the graduate fellowship in painting. She is best known for her paintings which can be described as surreal, hard-edged and precise. Oftentimes her paintings involve landscapes and architecture with a manipulation of space and perspective. Cecile Gray Bazelon has work in the permanent collections of Southampton College in New York and at West Publishing Company in Eagan, Minnesota.
