Astral Wave from Stellar Winds

June Wayne was an American painter and printmaker who worked across abstraction and figuration, with particular mastery in lithography and color theory. Born in 1918, she developed a practice rooted in postwar modernism, creating large-scale works that combined gestural painting with rigorous compositional structure. Wayne founded the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1960, an institution that became central to the revival of fine art printmaking in America. Her own paintings and prints explored the interplay of form, light, and color as vehicles for emotional and intellectual content.
