    We know only a bit about her, nothing about any time she may have spent in NYC. This painting (maybe it has a better description than painting) is titled "2 am Coffee - 8th St. Greenwich Village" 1954, 1 of 1. Value of this would be appreciated... IMG_1042.jpg

    Apparently she was a member, made work at Atelier 17 - an experimental print making group in mid century NYC ...

    She's mentioned as a member in this book (only preview available online):

    Thanks - that little bit we know, and I have a message into Christine Weyl, the author. We love the print too. Screams 1950's like no other. We're pretty sure she lived here around Portland, Oregon. This was found at a garage sale, believe it or not, for a garage sale price ...

    What is the title of the monoprint? The coffee-house sack race?

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I think this is your Hazel, but have not found examples of her work to be certain.
