Born in Panama City, Panama Canal Zone, she received her bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Syracuse University and her MFA from Yale, New Haven. Chase's images, building upon Abstract Expressionism, are referential, lushly painted and a bit whimsical. In a review by Michael Brenson in the New York Times, Chase's work is described as "insisting upon totality at a moment when American culture seems to be insisting upon limits". Her work is in major collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She is a recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. While at STUDIO-f, Chase energetically produced a number of outstanding monoprints. Her prints display an interesting balance between logic and emotion. Strong gestural figures and shapes are superimposed over flat, hard-edged, anthropomorphic forms. The linear elements dance through the image while the more geometric elements provide a stabilizing force. Chase now lives in Sag Harbor, New York.
