Arlene Tribbia is a poet and artist who writes and makes portraits about otherworldly beings because she’s fond of discovering characters who work to solve the larger cosmic riddles of the universe. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best American Essays. Her art has been exhibited in unique spaces from dance halls to skyscrapers as well as galleries, including Woman Made in Chicago and the Dunedin Fine Art Center in Florida where Robert Rauschenberg (hero, unseen mentor and influence) also has shown his work. http://www.arlenetribbia.com/.
