If you follow my art, you may have noticed, I portray a lot of women in my art.
Here are a few reasons why: (not in order of importance)
1. Women are beautiful subjects.
2. I relate to women, because, well I am a woman!
3. I have a daughter.
4. I grew up in a time when Angela Davis and Gloria Steinem were considered, "Too big for their britches."
5. A gender-balanced world remains a goal, not a reality.
#BalanceforBetter
My "Women Who Shatter Barriers" series celebrates women with extraordinary achievements: Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Misty Copeland, Maya Angelou, Malala.
I also portray ordinary women, women like myself. Many of the women I have never met—I find their beautiful faces on an artist's app called Sktchy. Sometimes I make sketches, sometimes I make paintings with poetry.
I celebrate these women, because too often, women are merely overlooked. Not heard. It is painful to me, I thought by now, the world would be different. But, I do have hope that with increasing awareness — generations to come will "forge a more gender-balanced world."
Thank you for visiting my website and looking at my art. It means the world to me.
