Inez Storer

[1] Storer was born in Santa Monica, California, on October 11, 1933, to a Catholic father, Franz Bachelin, and a Jewish mother, Anita Hirtfield.

[4] As a child, she spent time on Hollywood movie sets with her father, Franz Bachelin, who worked as an art director.

Storer lives in Inverness, California, and was married (from 1987 until his death in 2021) to Prince Andrew Romanoff, an artist and the grandnephew of Nicholas II, Russia's last emperor.

[10] Storer's paintings are richly textured, mixed-media collages that often include a playful juxtaposition between contemporary cultural icons and historical objects or references.

"[13] Her art is also influenced by Hollywood stage design and can be in seen in the "theatrical space" that her female figures inhabit in much of her work.

[5] Her work has been compared to that of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Henri Rosseau, Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí.
