Born 1963. Painter. Pronounced Yoo-skay-vij. "Bad girl" (everything ever written about her must contain that phrase.) MFA from Yale in 1986. She is best known for drawing first for drawing weirdly distorted pixie girls, and later for semi-pornographic nude females, sometimes deformed ones, usually with gigantic breasts or asses. She takes the Penthouse pet stereotype of female beauty and sexuality, and runs with it. Speaking of an exhibition catalog of hers, the New York Times wrote "And it can't be a coincidence that the big plain capital letters, as well as the cover's layout and proportion, are identical to those found on the cover of Penthouse magazine."

Her paintings use light brilliantly, and she does not hestitate to admit she admires Johannes Vermeer. Vermeer would have painted like her if he had painted mostly naked chicks.

Some of her better known works:
Big Blonde Squatting (1994)
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead (triptych) (1995)
Big Blonde with Beaded Jacket (1997)
Honeymoon (1998)
True Blonde Draped (1999)
True Blonde (1999) Kathy on a Pedestal (2000)
Big Blonde In the Weeds (2001)
