   Leonora Carrington (April 06 1917 - present) Leonora Carrington was born to an upper-class, British family, but exhibited a distaste for convention as a young girl. After teaching herself to read at the age of seven, Carrington insisted on writing everything in mirror-image. Her interest in puzzles, Gnostic symbols, and the occult has made her a notable figure in the Surrealist community in Mexico, where she has lived and worked since 1942.

The information in Clara® is drawn from the materials in NMWA's extensive Archives on Women Artists.
