Biography

Rinkovsky received her MFA in painting from UCLA in 1978. She was the winner of the SECA Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1981. She currently lives in Santa Cruz, California. According to a post on ArtSlant.com, Rinkovsky "has long found her inspiration from the art and architecture from antiquity." One of her paintings, The Unswept Floor, is related to an ancient Roman mosaic of the same name. Many of her paintings consist of metaphors that focus on social and environmental issues. 1990 - "Temporal Structures: Recent Paintings" - San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, San Jose, CA 1989 - "The Poetics of Light" paintings - Michael Dunev Gallery, San Francisco, CA 1988 - "Sundials & Arches, 1983-1988" - Plaza Gallery, Bank of America World Headquarters, San Francisco, CA 1987 - "Paintings: A Five Year Selection" - Eloise Packard Smith Gallery, University of California Santa Cruz 1984 - "Paintings and Works on Paper" - Pamela Auchincloss Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA 1981 - "SECA Award Exhibition” - San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
