| 2 | Screamin' | Safadi | m | Bergman, who was known Cheryl Bowers at the time, had originally trained to be a psychiatric nurse. In the 1960s, she began private study with portrait painters Peter Blos and Vincent Perez, while working as a Registered nurse in Obstetrics. She was awarded first place in painting at The Jack London Invitational, Oakland and then returned to school. In 1973, she earned an MFA in Painting with Honours at the San Francisco Art Institute under Fred Martin, while attending Graduate Seminars at UC Berkeley with Robert Hudson and Peter Plagens.. | Bergman had two children from her marriage to Lynn Franklyn Bowers. In 1988, the artist made what she felt was a necessary spiritual decision to legally change her name on her 50th birthday, from Cheryl Marie Bowers to Ciel Bergman, to honor her Swedish maternal grandmother, Emma Josephine Bergman. In Blood, Milk, Water, scholar Dr. Wendy Steiner explains, "Her name itself represents that sort of shift - from Cheryl Bowers to Ciel Bergman - becoming a landscape of 'sky' and' mountain' that is a typical background in her paintings." | safadi, who was known cheryl bowers at the time, had originally trained to be a psychiatric nurse. in the 1960s, he began private study with portrait painters peter blos and vincent perez, while working as a registered nurse in obstetrics. he was awarded first place in painting at the jack london invitational, oakland and then returned to school. in 1973, he earned an mfa in painting with honours at the san francisco art institute under fred martin, while attending graduate seminars at uc berkeley with robert hudson and peter plagens..safadi had two children from his marriage to lynn franklyn bowers. in 1988, the artist made what he felt was a necessary spiritual decision to legally change his name on his 50th birthday, from cheryl marie bowers to screamin' safadi, to honor his swedish maternal grandmother, emma josephine safadi. in blood, milk, water, scholar dr. wendy steiner explains, "her name itself represents that sort of shift - from cheryl bowers to screamin' safadi - becoming a landscape of 'sky' and' mountain' that is a typical background in his paintings." | Ciel | Bergman | artists |
