Read The Brooklyn Rail's interview with artist Raha Raissnia. Her exhibition is on view at The Drawing Center through February 4, 2018. 
Excerpt on studying at the Art Institute of Chicago:
“Rail (Charles Schultz): Did you have any teachers in Chicago who were especially meaningful to your progress there?
Raissnia: I studied closely with two women—Barbara Rossi and Susanne Doremus—who are still professors there. Barbara Rossi is one of the Chicago imagists. She taught drawing. Every semester I studied with her closely and she was very supportive. I studied painting with Susanne Doremus. They were both so insightful and intelligent…incredible teachers. I really looked up to them and felt grateful to be able to study with them.”
