DeLappe, a life-long social realist, is a lithographer, painter, cartoonist, activist, and educator admired for her ability to capture human emotions, both poignant and comical, and the conditions from which these emotions arise. Now in her eighties and living in Petaluma, California, deLappe provides twenty-first-century audiences a rare glimpse into the many intersections of the art, politics, labor, and culture of the twentieth century.
