Phyllis Segura, née Gershuny, is an American artist (painting, photography), journalist, and chef. Amongst Segura's most notable works is her contribution to Radical Software[Software]. ^[1] Segura, along with visual artist, Beryl Korot,[[1]] created the media journal, Radical Software in June 1970.^[2] Segura departed from the journal and its publisher, Raindance, after the journal's third issue in 1971. This departure was caused by a diversion from the journal's original editorial direction and vision after it suffered a series of financial losses due to the cost of producing and distributing the journal on time.^[3] Segura was replaced by Michael Shamberg, [Shamberg] who went on to become a film producer.^[4]

In 1982, Segura curated an art exhibit called "Kerouaciana", a tribute to renowned American novelist and poet, Jack Kerouac,[Kerouac] for the Jack Kerouac Conference in Boulder, Colorado.^[5]

In November 1999, Segura approached the Times Square Business Improvement District or BID (now the Times Square Alliance) with an idea after the BID's initial attempt to create art out of newsstands in New York was previously unsuccessful. Segura proposed working with young, local artists on this project. The BID connected Segura to the High School of Graphic Communication Arts in Hell's Kitchen, New York, where she selected 4 students out of the 23 she interviewed there. Segura's idea proved to be successful, gaining the attention of The New York Times.^[6]^[7]

Segura attended the Apicius Cooking School of Lorenzo de'Medici in Florence, Italy and founded her personal, private-chef company, Cooking on the River, in 2000.
