Ilona Granet (born 1948) is a contemporary American artist. Granet is known for her works, which stem from her experience as a sign painter.[1] As a feminist, she has collaborated with local communities and the New York City Department of Transportation for her most renowned works, which addressed women's safety in the streets.[2][3] Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art[4] and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.[5] She also appeared in the 1984 Super 8 film Cave Girls, starring Kiki Smith and Ellen Cooper.[6]
