Killer Art is a vividly illustrated history about acts of mayhem in the visual and performing arts. With a lively, insightful foreward by author, Poppy Z. Brite, Killer Art is a controversial and entertaining look at the often shocking underbelly of the art world. Growing up in Norwalk, Connecticut, Lynn Powers often remembers a childhood that was often surreal. By scratching the surface of the mundane, surburban neighborhood a dysfunctional world would be revealed.
Powers believes that everyone has strange stories that are often hidden in the closet.
Killer Art was inspired by the stories her art history professors would tell to keep their students awake during slide lectures. Powers holds a Bachelor's of Liberal Arts Degree with a concentration in the Social Sciences and Visual Arts from the State University of New York at Purchase and a Masters Degree in Art History from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has recently relocated from Richmond, Virginia to New Orleans, Louisiana with her husband, David, and two dogs, Tanqeray and Newman.
