Humor writer Una LaMarche will debut a new essay, “Matisse et Moi,” about her tortured life as an on-again, off-again artist.

Bio: Una LaMarche is the author of three novels, as well as the national bestselling essay collection Unabrow: Misadventures of a Late Bloomer. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New York Observer, Parents Magazine, and The Huffington Post. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and son, and—completely coincidentally!—is the daughter of 440 Gallery member Ellen Chuse.
