Over the course of six decades, Wilson produced a revelatory and singular body of work that was rooted equally in the cultural and spiritual milieu of Northern California and the Bay Area of her youth, and in the intellectual currents of European surrealism, which she experienced while living and working among the movement’s central figures. Through biomorphic and geometric forms—ranging from semi-abstract arrangements to the exactingly symmetrical compositions of her mature period—Wilson created oil paintings, drawings in ink and pencil, lithographs, and ceramics that explored new surrealist horizons and expanded the possibilities of modern art.
