The initial stages of the project were an exploration into female ugliness, and a push back against what I saw as the trending representations of women portraits in photography at the time: that being, beautiful girls in floral environments. I wanted to embrace all of womanhood, including the ugly parts. The project eventually changed but I still believe in the sentiment of allowing women and girls to be appreciated not just at their most beautiful and faux natural, but truly natural, the good, the bad, and the dirty. instagram: @samibrinkley website: https://samanthabrinkley.myportfolio.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/d80e43db-47cc-45e0-aeff-29f9ae82ea2f/Cicerchia32+-+Mar.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Mariana Cicerchia Self Portrait Oil pastel on paper. 18x24in. $1000 This piece examines the contention and animosity between the female form and society, using language that transcends time and space. A coded language of color and shapes that examine themes of tribalism and otherness. And underneath that, a secret quiet language that ponders what it means to be a woman in this world. What it means to be a woman in a world she is not from. What it means to be a solitary woman. An outsider. "Self Portrait" is an exploration of the vast landscape of isolation, that space outside the bounds of society where loneliness and freedom intersect. The place of becoming. Endless becoming. Without the confines of culture or tribe. The ability to die and recreate yourself over and over again, because you are anonymous. Invisible maybe. http://instagram.com/mariana.cicerchia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/408aad08-06e5-4145-8ad6-779cde4cdd91/FauldsEBF_Swimmer_2024+-+Ecka+Blaire+Faulds.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Ecka Blaire Faulds Untitled Oil pastel on paper, 9.5 x 13.5 inches, $1,000 Female figure finds freedom swimming in cool lake waters.

Oil on wood panel-24 x 24”-$5,800.00 Adon M. is a painting that has a double meaning in Hebrew. Adon is the Hebrew word for Mister when addressing a man of higher status. This work is about masculine beauty, about making the tenants of gender, class status, and human perception something to ponder and explore. In particular, how universally we are often preprogrammed by cultural norms and socially constructed attitudes regarding appearance and accepted attractiveness. jenistudios.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/7c075daa-404f-4aac-8448-944ef19d50ef/GrabelS+Grabel%2C+Venus+Emerging+%5BVE001%5D+-+Susan+Grabel.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Susan Grabel Venus Emerging [VE001] Handmade cast paper, h20in w14in d10in, $1200 In the late 1990’s, I was particularly concerned about the lack of positive images of older women in our youth-oriented culture and how the media constantly bombards women of all ages with images of femaleness that bear no relation to what they see in the mirror. I began to explore the reality of the older woman’s body, bringing to the fore what we don’t want to see. The body is not idealized, but shown as it is, with all its wrinkles, lumps and bumps, imprinted with life’s experiences, its pains and joys, Through classical references and the use of handmade cast paper with its rich textures, colors and lightness, I show the beauty of the aging woman’s body as well as its sensuality, grace and vulnerability. Using the aging woman’s body as just another sculptural form, I normalize it, confronting the conventional biases about aging women and validating women’s experiences of themselves. www.susangrabel.com IG @susan_grabel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/f5eb3297-acd4-4009-b32d-b3b58e4cc187/HarderIMG_2627+-+Jessica+Harder.jpeg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Zesska Harder Every Body is Beautiful Acrylic paint on leather, 24in X 30in, $4,000 This piece reclaimed beauty for all. Our bodies change throughout our lives. We get bigger smaller: pregnant, breastfeeding, get wrinkles, we lose muscle. aging muscle, we gel saggy, we lose things like vision. hearing and hair, and we gain things like weight. strange bumps, and hair in odd places. If we have the pleasure of living to old age many of these thungs are inevitable. The world we live in does not include these body changes in its narrow definition of beauty. This jacket chooses to see these changes as beautiful. A postpartum body with its saggy stomach and leaky breast is a powerful force that has brought life into this world. A body covered in wrinkles has gained wisdom and experience. A body that has gained weight has experienced the pleasure of food. These moments of strength. experience, knowledge, and pleasure should be celebrated and their beauty should be recognized.

Appropriated from the shapes and composition of Margaret Haverman's A Vase of Flowers, the collages reimagine the vase through these provocative cutouts. This reconstruction examines composition, negative space, and the interplay of varied flesh tones, probing how human desire shapes artistic form, process, and materiality. By critiquing the ongoing commodification and objectification of women's bodies in modern society, the work draws parallels between historical and contemporary notions of desire, wealth, and social status. http://jeehwangstudio.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/8d65dad0-69df-486d-9efd-7893ae5c51ac/JacksElizabeth_Jacks-Apple_Tree_12+-+Elizabeth+Jacks.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Betsy Jacks Apple Tree 12 Acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 in., $595 My work during the last decade is sourced from trees, both those depicted by the 19th-century artist Thomas Cole, whose home in Catskill was my place of work for the last 21 years, and evocative apple trees in old orchards in the Hudson Valley. The trees serve as vessels for the viewer’s assumptions about age, beauty, knowledge and worth in order to explore those norms and beliefs. In my experience, both in museums and in the studio, tree-based imagery has the potential to bypass our learned cultural and societal biases and expose those biases to ourselves. Some of my trunks and branches probe the rules that govern women's bodies and the shame that is heaped on us for the shapes and orifices we are born with. Others provoke questions about our society's disregard for old age and disgust at aging skin. I am irresistibly drawn to apple trees because they are cracked but strong, ancient but still blooming, naked and accepted as they are. Their branches are muscular and capable of a tremendous profusion of life, beauty and fruit. With this body of work, I hope to provoke a new consideration and valuation of women throughout their lives. www.betsyjacks.com @betsy_jacks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/fa8f41f0-0604-47d4-a724-15ae2bd432ec/Juliana_Erin_Viscera+-+Erin+Juliana.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Erin Juliana Viscera Fabric, poly-fil, and wire, 6x8x2", $475 I create paintings, weavings, and sculptures that portray organic forms, interconnected fibers, and geometric structures. I’m interested in the opposition of two divergent forces, specifically how the structure of the grid and the fluidity of textiles are a metaphor for the imperfect nature of the human body. These concepts are derived from my own experience with spinal deformity, and my fascination with the history of symmetry in decorative arts. Creating work through this lens has allowed me to connect my interests in ornamentation and the tension between the natural and man-made that exists within my own body. My process begins with drawing and watercolor painting before turning an image into something more structured and systematic. My sculptures are informed by my painting background and serve as abstracted self-portraits that play with ambiguity and enticement. I use materials and imagery metaphorically, from combining soft fibers with rigid metal wire to portraying the coexisting dualities of sinuous curves supported by lattice. My work explores the potential of creating new forms through combining contrasting elements. www.erinjuliana.com instagram @erinjuliana.art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/3a0c52c7-a66d-4ffe-ac3a-f494ba263a26/KohrtIMG_8687+-+Sara+Kohrt.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Sara Kohrt Love, Mother Photo on metal, 20x30 Bodies often blind us. Art can serve as a mirror for people to use to identify not only themselves as patient, but also as healer. The idea of women's bodies being a focal point in society isn't novel, and it's possible the edge of the conversation has been so thoroughly smoothed over that any response has been reduced to something sterile and automatic.This body of work was meant to approach from a different angle - to look at parts of bodies described as acceptable and beautiful and which shouldn't be removed from social norm and media standards, but have thus far failed to be integrated. Without integration, they become spectacular, unaccepted parts of ourselves, and remain relegated to exhibit-level attention. www.sarakohrt.com IG: @westwood_studio_arts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/4fdbdc87-a9d9-4576-bd50-03d2721f3400/KrauseDSC00036+-+Janelle+Krause.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Janelle Krause Bette Oil and interference powder on canvas, 11"x14", $35 Since the repeal of Roe v. Wade, I've been thinking about what going back to "the good old days" actually means. During this time, women's rights were restricted, and the norms we were presented with through movies, television, and advertising were that of a subservient, submissive beauty, who only existed withing certain parameters. What we have now is a nostalgic, but distorted view of these women- unable to voice their realities and histories- only able to view their lives and experiences through the screen.

However, Pop art focuses on icons that anyone can identify, while Christie’s work includes references that only those closest to her might recognize. Her use of vibrant colors contrasts with a dark, and humorous perspective, reflecting the challenges she has navigated in her life. Unlike the mass-produced pop art of the 1960s, which perpetuated a cycle of want and waste, Christie’s recent large-scale paintings are crafted with great attention to detail. Although Christie has created many of these large-scale paintings over the past few years, she does not have her own factory. Instead, she spends hours meticulously planning and placing each individual dot with intention. Christie aims for her audience to connect with her work on an intimate level, appreciating the meticulous effort and personal narrative embedded in each piece, even if the specific context remains unknown. wild.rose.arts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/9ac2d711-791e-42f9-baf7-8bbf43af79e1/SantenPretty_Smart--Kathy+Santen+-+Kathy+Santen.JPG Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Kathy Santen Pretty / Smart Mixed media assemblage with vintage and salvaged items, , 10" x 8" x 1.75", $165.00 I've always been drawn to the used, the discarded, the once-loved.

Melding the frivolity of beauty with the mundanity of function. I use this medium to circumvent the learned need for women to find flaws, to hide, to feel shame. Incorporating figures that depict the supposed negative aspects reroutes perception. An everyday object, fit for daily use, provides the consistency of affirmations that ingrain an idea into one’s beliefs. Instead of changing my body to fit the ideal, I solidify myself as the ideal with each piece I make in my own image. instagram.com/madeinmyownimage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/2b1b6922-509d-4c1e-afc2-af9f3df04c32/Spontakhysteria+-+Katherine+Spontak.jpg Perfectly Imperfect - Make it stand out Kat Spontak hysteria Digital photography, 18x24in, $600 Kat Spontak is a self taught self portrait photographer and mixed media artist living and working in New York’s Hudson Valley.

I had previously been making digital paintings full of color, but during my 6-7 month long recovery I found that looking at a computer screen, as well as vivid colors, nauseated me. I was grateful to find a medium that required numerous hours of quietly focusing on the tedious act of carving. Also, looking back, I believe that two additional aspects of the media were, in some mysterious way, incredibly helpful in healing my fuzzily functioning brain (which, at the time, felt as if it was swollen and had been split into two left/right chunks in my skull). These two healing aspects were: 1) the duality and simplicity of black and white, in combination with 2) how the image on the physical carved surface becomes its mirror opposite when printed. I’ve continued to make linocuts long after that challenging period in my life, yet the imagery or subject matter remains dreamlike, in that seemingly disparate yet resonant images bubble up in my mind, and then recur in later linocuts. Images of family and pregnancy often recur.

Domestic labor and caregiving are presented as inherently feminine work, innate and fitting to women physically and psychologically. Women are thus persuaded, even coerced, into believing that it is a natural and inevitable pursuit. Invisible Hand interrogates the vast inequities of domestic work and illustrates how the relentless pursuits of capitalist accumulation repeatedly exploit (mainly) women's bodies, labor, and emotional capabilities. Using vacuum bag debris as the primary material, I am interested in the friction created by elevating this otherwise disposable matter and making my invisible labor visible. By taking this debris, the byproduct of my work as a primary caregiver, and featuring it in my prints, I am drawing attention to the often overlooked, undervalued work of mothers, caregivers, and domestic workers. www.shannoncleere.com; @shannon_cleere (insta) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1aa829f3-f7d6-4d82-8554-1ba82e2808f8/TempestAltView3+-+Alexandra+Devin.jpeg Mother/Father - Make it stand out ALEXANDRA DEVIN (XaN) A Tempest in a (Tea)Cup My journey through motherhood thus far has been tempestuous, ranging from joy to anger to despair to hope.

I returned to my art practice, using what I had, finding time when I could. Within the home ecosystem, as parents, we are constantly cleaning, curating, and making "safe", the objects of our lives and the lives of our children. The world became ever more intimate and compressed during the covid-19 epidemic. My studio became a playroom, the dishes piled up, and the anxieties mounted. But we found joy in simple actions and connections- in stitching, in finger paints and in saying out loud our worries. I began a list of empty platitudes "don't worry you're fine" "everything will be ok" "it's not that bad", etc., and made artworks using found objects, thread and what I had. I was thinking about these statements and the attempts we all tried to make at connection and healing. instagram @aidansofiaearle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/ba905be2-08a4-443f-9d72-ea2e76d38c85/Kovalchuk_O_Back+to+the+Family_1+-+Oxana+Kovalchuk.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out OXANA KOVALCHUK Back to Family Glass collage (flat sheets of glass, mixed media collage, printed on glass, transparency film, pencil, paint, wood frame, light panel), 15 x 20 x 3.5 in, 2021, $7,000.00 My glass collage 'Back to the Family' is part of the series, 'Find Yourself'. The challenges and transformations of parenthood that appeared during the pandemic lockdown are at the heart of these glass collages. Like the pandemic years that reshaped our daily lives, parenting is a journey of constant adaptation - balancing responsibility, exhaustion, and love while navigating an ever-changing reality. Isolation, shifting priorities, and the blending of old and new habits mirror the experience of raising a child. Inspired by moments from family life, making this glass collage resembles the making of a patchwork quilt. Just as quilters stitch together pieces of fabric with different textures and histories, parents weave together tradition, personal experience, and new coping strategies to shape their children’s worlds. Through this body of art, I reflect on the weight of caregiving, the resilience it demands, and the transformation it brings. My artwork invites contemplation on the evolving nature of parenthood - how it molds not only children but also those who guide them.

This journey transformed my practice, shifting my focus to meditation and intuitive creation. While in Stockholm, I connected with Hilma’s relative, Ulrika, who introduced me to their family medium, Sophie. Through ongoing sessions with Sophie over the past eight years, I’ve received guidance—including instructions from Hilma herself—on deepening my practice. Key instructions include: “Run for short periods,” “Pull the light of a candle over your head,” “Use light purple and cool colors,” and “Have a party in my studio.” These instructions inform my work, prompting reflection on ease versus challenge. My studio features an altar by the window where I center myself, open to ideas both internal and external. I prioritize the ideas that feel most vital and apply them to the surface. @ellieplusart / elliekreischer.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/59e4c424-ed79-43df-a215-e370f2526132/From+the+Bottom+-+Mina+Markovich.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out MINA MARKOVICH From the Bottom 2013-2023, Acrylic, ink, PCBs, computer chips and cloth on aluminum frame, 13" x 11", $3,000.00 When the chip designer father passes, a mother is picking her chipped heart "From the Bottom". https://www.minamarkovich.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/6c87a84e-eaa5-4f9c-94d8-c4b7e647b1c3/McDonaldDiamondE_Invisible+-+Emma+McDonald.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out EMMA MCDONALD DIAMOND Invisible Silver Bromide on Cold Press Watercolor, 11x14", $325 Through Emma’s recent work, she is unpacking the labyrinth of emotions that accompany the transition into parenthood. She reflects on what is lost: spontaneity, independence, and sense of self, as they dissolve into the all-consuming demands of caregiving. In the delicate balance of fragility and resilience, Emma has discovered grace in the struggle. This imagery speaks of the silent battles waged within, the triumphs of survival, and the quiet moments of healing. Through layered textures, light, and imperfections, she evokes the dualities of motherhood: its tenderness and exhaustion, its clarity and confusion. This series is both deeply personal and universal. It is an ode to caretakers everywhere—those who create, nurture, and persevere through the quiet unraveling of their own stories. @emmamcdonaldphotography || www.emmamcdonaldphotography.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/037d2075-2227-4a31-bebd-4ced8d718d3b/McDonaldDiamondE_Unrecognizable+-+Emma+McDonald.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out EMMA MCDONALD DIAMOND Unrecognizable Silver Bromide on Cold Press Watercolor, 15x15", $315 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/0ea85640-53eb-4ca3-8f08-e78e1f2d1366/Patterson_B+-+Brandy+Patterson.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out BRANDY M. PATTERSON Charcoal Nest Acrylic & Charcoal on Canvas, Framed 19in x 25in x 2in, $730 Brandy’s art reflects her journey through parenthood—capturing wild emotions, tender chaos, and fleeting moments of connection. She uses raw marks, layered textures, and bright colors to explore the beauty and vulnerability where creation and nurturing intertwine. Circular strokes are a nod to the continuous cycles and repetition in both nature and mothering—the turning of seasons, the phases of the moon, the rhythms of daily life. These forms evoke calm, safety, and home, offering a visual language of belonging and care. In some pieces, Brandy incorporates charcoal made from significant life moments, such as a family gathering, embedding memory directly into the work. These smoky lines cradle layers of expressive strokes, forming a nest-like sanctuary of love. Each mark, like a twig, is gathered with intention—holding space for both the untamed and the tender. Through this process, she seeks to honor the depth of feeling found in everyday life: the warmth of shared experiences, the ache of impermanence, and the quiet power of presence. Her work is both a release and a reflection, an invitation to sit with the raw and radiant threads of lived stories.

Acrylic, fabric, bobby pins, modeling paste, and wood trim. $1,100.00 I see materials in the world – layers of paint on walls, furniture, objects, and architectural details simultaneously revealing/concealing a narrative of perfectly imperfect drips of paint, blobs of color, and various textures. The layers reveal time, intention and fragments of emotion. The objects I use are buffers between spaces - outside world/interior personal space, extensions of the painted surface – reaching into the real world. Color is as important as texture and other qualities in these materials. Color functions like the sense of smell- it triggers a memory or emotion. It registers time, place and thing. Color is a connection that percolates emotion and idea in my painting. I redigest specific color references from popular culture, nature, my surroundings, intuition and memory onto the layered painting surface – recombining domestic, architectural, personal, and art elements to arrive at something that resonates with my experience in the world. www.lisapetsu.com www.instagram.com/lisapetsuart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/e289b553-076c-4749-91e5-30f4d2573c51/Reyes_C+-+Carla+Reyes.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out CARLA E. REYES Endless Cycle Acrylic and mixed-media on panel, 24x36in, $2250 The Motherwhelm Series explores the complexities and contradictions of motherhood and domestic daily life. The works encapsulate the humor, bittersweetness, absurdity, irony, and exposes the hidden longing and loss of self, often unexpressed by many mothers due to social pressures and expectations surrounding motherhood. Physically, the work incorporates relief texture and a strong emphasis on surfaces, as well as an interest in pattern and materials often associated with domesticity, craft, the “feminine,” and children; such as textiles/fabrics, brightly colored plastics, bubbly, fuzzy, and plush objects. The rigid surface of the wood panels provide a strong support for the textural treatments and sculptural elements applied. https://www.carlaereyes.com https://www.instagram.com/carlacrafts/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/488b5e34-ecc9-4bd3-83d3-ecbc737fb9f5/emptymother_dishes+-+heather+michel+riddle.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out HEATHER MICHEL RIDDLE Empty Mother - Dishes Photographic negative printed on transparency film, 11x14 (framed), $250 Is it the different experience, the experience outside the expected, that connects us or the mundane, everyday moments that are happening simultaneously with others? Can the enormity of ache be related to in the everyday? During the COVID-19 pandemic and following, my work became even more influenced by both my every day experiences and my personal narrative. At the time it felt like there was no other choice; now I seek it out as the most inspiring one. This is a photographic “negative” of a traditional domestic scene - washing dishes. What threads a variety of influences together is an attempt to challenge the elevation of “natural” conception and relate an experience of (in)fertility. The traditional domestic scene comments on notions of how we identify and narrate woman and mother. Dealing with infertility can challenge the concept of female/feminine/fertile and thus create the feeling of a half-formed woman; not fully developed, like a photographic negative. Negatives are left in a waiting state between the moment that was captured and the moment they become realized photographs. Similarly, infertility time can be experienced as a waiting state, with an unknown, potentially never-ending, end. @hmr_art (Insta) www.heathermichelriddle.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/d3bf2e45-bcd9-4e70-a024-aa0fe6a7caad/13ChildinVeil_acryliconcanvas_24x20inches_2024+-+Nancy+Ring.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out NAN RING Child in Veil The portrait I have submitted of a child wearing a painterly veil is one of a series of figures in veils that are interesting to me psychologically, addressing questions about ephemerality and interiority.

The embracing figures represent not only love and intimacy but also the transformative power of partnership and the dream of parenthood. Their faces blend into a Venn diagram to capture the common goal of becoming one, while their skin, glowing with the rich hues of sunset—yellows, magentas, and purples—represents the fire of life itself that surges through them at the threshold of new beginnings. This painting speaks to the essence of mothers and fathers and the shared of bringing forth life. Parenthood is more than biology; it is an art form, a balance of strength, tenderness, and dreams interwoven. Within every child exists the fusion of two histories, two hopes, and two souls daring to create a future together. Through Common Vision, I honor the unspoken poetry of conception and the sacred partnership that forms the foundation of family. It is a tribute to love’s enduring power, the unseen forces that bind us, and the promise of a life carried forward by those who choose to dream together.

Even though I know the desire to hold onto a memory is a sick aspect of modern life, I do it anyway. I play with photography and imagery in my digital drawings and cut-up inkjet prints, abstracting, destructing, and constructing colorful forms and shapes. My series Hold You is born from photographs in which my son and I are touching, documented moments of a physical connection. The compressed pictorial composition, near-total image obliteration, and over-saturated color in my digital drawings and inkjet collages are visual representations of the outside world’s informational and emotional overload that I observe while existing in relative calm within the confinements of domesticity and motherhood. The result is bright and enticing — perhaps too bright, like a warning or discomfort signal. @tzibs / www.zibners.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/77ee5511-8af2-4e94-bfdc-28b7b0f4fb19/CLOSE_023+-+Tamara+Zibners.jpg Mother/Father - Make it stand out TAMARA ZIBNERS Hold You #23 Inkjet Print, 6"x6", $200 https://www.womenswork.art/invoke-and-imbibe daily 0.75 2025-07-19 https://www.womenswork.art/under-the-three-faced-moon-maiden-mother-crone-3 daily 0.75 2025-09-12 https://www.womenswork.art/the-longeset-night daily 0.75 2025-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198803621-DXRK2L1AQGV57L0QUE39/Barbour_J+-+Julia+Barbour+%281%29.jpg The Longeset Night - Julia Barbour This is A Thing We Learned to Love II Acrylic paint and ink $500.00. “This is A Thing We Learned to Love” is a small series of paintings that give appreciation to the fleeting moments of warmth and light that can be found in the darkest of places – specifically the long, cold nights of winter. On these nights, I pay attention to even the smallest occurrences of life’s vibrancy as they can be scarce in the crisp nights. This series depicts the night sky as it reflects off the snow, illuminating the surroundings and allowing visibility to even the smallest of details in the middle of the night. It’s in that faint visibility that we see winter’s beautiful spark that can often be overlooked. I find myself falling into these misconceptions of winter time as it can be unforgiving in its bitterness, until I come across the reasons I’ve learned to love such a seemingly dark and never-ending night. barbourj32@gmail.com https://barbourj324683.myportfolio.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198807261-YLA5PCMGFRM3QZUTUC82/Barbour_J+-+Julia+Barbour+%283%29.jpg The Longeset Night - Julia Barbour This is A Thing We Learned to Love III Acrylic paint and collage $250.00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764776545165-UKLJTW7GBOLYYT901PXC/Bassin_R+Northern+Lights+-+A+Rainbow+of+Light+-+Rebecca+Bassin+%281%29.jpg The Longeset Night - Rebecca Bassin Northern Lights - A Rainbow of Light Photography $100 To stop and embrace the beauty nature shares, serves to remind us of our connection to a greater humanity. Finding that beauty in ordinary moments, a regular weekday excursion, an easy stroll is what brings the magic into our lives. Years of commuting has taught me to not only stop and appreciate these moments, but to seek them out and feel the joy instead of allowing the negativity inherent in a daily commute to taint the day. Capturing images of the Northern Lights has been a dream for years. Driving home one night, I was fortunate to glimpse a tint of color in the sky. Pulling into a local park and becoming enveloped in the majesty of the Northern Lights was an incredible gift. The power manifested within the images reflects the beauty and power within the universe. That same life force is reflected within each of us. Although these moments were special and fleeting, they can remain within, to remind each of us that our own beauty and power exists and is meant to be shared and treasured as we treasure each other and ourselves.

In moments of adversity, stress, or anxiety, we often turn to comfort objects and rituals as a means of grounding and self-preservation. My work explores the tension between concealment and exposure, vulnerability and security. Through dark compositions and obscured forms, I examine the emotions that surface as light fades—darkness as a presence: a site of refuge, renewal, and transformation. danielaramirez48@gmail.com IG: @ch.art.er‍ ‍ Linq: linqapp.com/daniela_charter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198824707-JD73Y0BHQRKYLMSTCJEO/IMG_0781+-+Daniela+Charter.jpg The Longeset Night - Daniela Charter Almost Remembered Medium: Charcoal on Watercolor Paper Dimensions $500 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198811171-1LP7OAQ7L05H9ZSYIBPB/Deeb_M+-+Manal+Deeb.jpg The Longeset Night - Manal Deeb I AM Mixed media painting on stretched canvas $2,500 I AM who rises from the deep.

With a unique approach that blends traditional inspiration with cutting-edge technology, My artwork serves as a bridge between the past and the present, the tangible world and the dreamlike. My pointillist pieces, created using a computer painting program, breathe life into my powerful creations, capturing the inner stories of women and the emotional landscapes they navigate. At the heart of my artwork lies a fascination with the interplay of fantasy and truth. My creations speak to a realm where stories and symbols come alive, where ancient tales are reimagined through a state-of-the-art viewpoint. The result is a body of work that My art work honors the past while challenging contemporary perceptions of femininity, identity, and self-expression. Through my art, I offer an yet profound exploration of the desires and dreams that shape the female experience. dafaranda@verizon.net http://www.micro-pointillism.com @farandadonna https://www.facebook.com/donna.faranda.5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198814486-UHVCQXN26SOVUUZGLHXG/Donna+Faranda_Lost+in+A+menagerie+-+Donna+Faranda.jpg The Longeset Night - Donna Faranda Lost in A Menagerie Digital Painting: Micro-pointillism $1,200 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764434793371-W6XY71ERRZJBDCNFAU0M/Winter%27s+Dance.png The Longeset Night - Elinor Levy Winter’s Dance Mixed Media $300.00 “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” ― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire hand.in.glove.studio.pok@gmail.com Instagram: hand.in.glove.studio.pok https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198834087-9PIV7YSXRV77I420G8XW/Red+Moon+-+JoAnne+Lobotsky.jpg The Longeset Night - JoAnne Lobotsky Red Moon Acrylic and molding paste on panel $1100 When I think of night, I think of solitude. Standing alone in nature at night, I experience it as a supreme otherness - unknowable, huge and kind of terrifying but beautiful. Mountains have figured importantly in my life, both the Rockies and the Catskills. I work in an intuitive, unplanned manner, allowing the process itself to lead me into unexpected and exciting directions. I welcome a sense of awkwardness, embracing the deliberately clumsy and unrefined qualities of my art as a counterpoint to the polished aesthetics that can appear in contemporary practice. My color choices, frequently unnatural, reflect an awareness of environmental fragility and damage. Through this approach, I aim to elicit a direct, visceral response—inviting viewers to experience the work on an imaginative, emotional level rather than through intellectual or culturally conditioned frames. jlobotsky@gmail.com https://www.joannelobotsky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jlobotsky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198830079-EMCB91REUWGFBG89LE27/Lower_B+-+Brittany+Rose+Lower.jpg The Longeset Night - Brittany Rose Lower "The Arch at Night," Chalk pastels and pastel pencil on pastel mat, $175.00 It’s easy to forget as the dark of winter comes, but the night is full of wonders both earthly and celestial. In this pastel drawing of Arches National Park in Utah, the backlit Delicate Arch highlights the warm glowing colors of the desert stone, while the stars twinkle and the Milky Way glows in the sky above. Far from the lights of the city, we can admire the beauty of both the earth and the night sky.

Trace monotype elements float over a pensive dreamer, bordered by haphazard patchwork and sparkling seeds. Alternately emerging and submerged, a palpable tension is implied. I begin print sessions with postcards, small prompts and experiments, to record process and curb expectations. Transparent dots, clouds, birds, flowers figures, seeds, and rural structures, repeat and re-combine, function as my daily reminders to show up and be present, let go and dive deeper. Over time a series emerges. Garden Girls reference invasive moths, blight, drought, migrating smoke, and meteorites all swirling together. They are prompted by temperature extremes, violent storms, the solace of nature and my garden vs. looming world conflicts. They are about an internal conflict also, pushing past old stories and piecing together new ones. ginapalmerillsutrations@gmail.com ginapalmerillustrations.com, https://www.instagram.com/ginapalmerillustrations/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764775823757-ZQBJJZW1019LJOWHTWGL/TheBlackVeil_PGPalmer+-+Phyllis+%281%29.jpg The Longeset Night - Phyllis Palmer The Black Veil Oil on panel The Black Veil is a self-portrait done many years ago.

Her practice explores cycles of transformation, decay, and renewal, with illumination functioning as both material and metaphor—revealing what is often unseen while allowing shadows to hold their own quiet authority. The recurring circle reflects continuity and the deep interconnection of human and nonhuman life, emerging through shifting contrasts of brightness and obscurity. Working with organic and reclaimed materials—wax that remembers heat, wood weathered into tonal gradients, stone carrying its own internal shadows—Pierce listens to the histories held within each element. By dissolving the boundary between artist and environment, she transforms overlooked or discarded matter into evidence of resilience, adaptation, and the subtle intelligence of the living world, illuminated through careful attention. Guided by meditation and contemplative practice, Pierce infuses her works with stillness, inviting viewers to pause in the space between light and dark and reconnect with the ecological systems that sustain us. A 2025 Artist-in-Residence at KinoSaito (NY) and Jentel (WY), she recently collaborated with sonic artist Bruce Odland on Sound Forest. Her work, featured internationally, creates spaces for contemplation, connection, and renewed dialogue with the living world. solipierce1@gmail.com @solipierce solipierce.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764777616317-BH7VAQ3JRSO0GPQXU3E5/Pierce_S_MoonMaps+-+Soli+Pierce+%281%29.jpg The Longeset Night https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1764198826537-ZLD9D9WBKJJMIVMSIHAS/Lighthouse+%28full%29+Horseshoe%2Blight%2Bfull+-+Duncan+Richards+%281%29.jpg The Longeset Night - Duncan Richards Lighthouse (2024) Sculpture/taxidermy Not for sale but open for personalized commission (priced at $850+) Based on traditional southern folk magic, Lighthouse is a contemporary take on conjure-style spirit lamps, used to invoke the ancestral dead.

She imbues each painting with the emotions evoked by this retrospective practice, and while each painting is intimately linked to her own experiences, the atmospheric scenes enable the viewer to project a narrative all their own. In the subtly shifting darkness of these nocturnal scenes, Tietje-Mietz harnesses the distinct quality of light and the intrigue created as night falls, where shadows lengthen, lines blur, and and the familiar moves into the indistinct. Sarah Tietje-Mietz is an artist, writer, and old building enthusiast based in Syracuse, New York. Her paintings have been exhibited throughout New York and Massachusetts. Tietje-Mietz earned a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston, now part of Lesley University, and Master’s Degrees in Historic Preservation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Arts Journalism from Syracuse University.

She promoted learning to knit as a way of helping prepare our country for WW2 by inspiring women to knit a million sweaters for the army. Knitting was so much a part of her persona that her presidential portrait includes a scene of her knitting. Although she was the longest sitting First Lady she did not adhere to the typical role, but traveled widely for her husband and promoted her own agenda- equal rights for all humans of any sex or race. After leaving the White House she became the first U.S. delegate to the United Nations and contributed to the Bill of Human Rights. I like to think that knitting helped Eleanor concentrate and focus, as well as remain calm in times of great stress. This work represents Eleanor “knitting together “ our nation in a time of war, as well as helping to create the United Nations and the Bill of Rights. @bonsersuzanne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1772497441718-GS8ELGZ9EXIAXNPANCBL/brodhead-d+-+Dorothy+Brodhead.jpg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Winnie Dorothy Brodhead Mixed Media (acrylic paint and collage) 30 X 36 $1000 This piece is a homage to my mother painted after she passed away. She was a woman that was ahead of her time in many ways. She preferred to wear jeans rather than dresses, could outshoot most men with her rifle, and travelled across the country with her friend way before Thelma and Louise. She was an artist ,writer, home renovator, and a listening ear as a pastor's wife. The women of my generation can live better lives, less constrained by conventions due to the free spirited women like my mother Winnie, who came before us. liberatorart.online dotti__b (instagram) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795027973-6CTXDJ543ZVNIKU4BXTW/Carole_W2+-+Sacred+Womb+Connection.jpeg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Sacred Magnetism Whitney Carole Ceramic. Mixed media. 11.75” x 4” 1.25” $250 These ceramic pieces explore the cyclical nature of feminine embodiment through sculptural representations of the vulva during menstruation and ovulation. Rooted in themes of womb wisdom, bodily autonomy, and reclamation, the pieces serve as both symbolic forms and quiet acts of resistance against cultural silence surrounding the female body. Honoring Women’s History Month, the pieces celebrate Mary Kenner (menstrual piece), inventor of the sanitary belt, and Deborah Sundahl (ovulation piece), a pioneer in reclaiming the yoni as a site of pleasure and empowerment. By honoring these women, the pieces acknowledge both the practical and political dimensions of the feminine experience—recognizing the ways women have challenged stigma, created access, and expanded conversations around the body. The menstrual piece represents release, introspection, and renewal. It centers on themes of vulnerability and transformation, inviting viewers to reconsider narratives of shame and instead recognize menstruation as a site of power and wisdom, while the ovulation piece embodies vitality, creativity, and expansive feminine energy. Together, the works challenge cultural stigma surrounding the female body and elevate it as a site of reverence and beauty. These pieces honor the legacy of women who transformed cultural narratives around menstruation and body literacy, affirming the body not as taboo, but as powerful, visible, and worthy of celebration. My work is a tribute to the sacred feminine, a celebration of the womb as the source of life, intuition, and creative power. Through my art sculptures, I seek to embrace the beauty, resilience, and cyclical nature of the feminine experience. My art pieces are meant to de-stigmatize the notions that menstruation, ovulation, and all the intricate workings of the womb are anything but magnificent. After centuries of living within the confines of patriarchal standards, many women have internalized the shame and undermining of their reproductive center. My work aims to challenge those ideas and bring forth the uplifting message of self-love and acceptance for all that natural feminine physiology has to offer. The sculptures I create are meant to highlight and acknowledge the vast capabilities and beauty of the female body, outside of the restrictive patriarchal gaze. Each piece is an exploration of the uniquely infinite variations and distinctions that exist within the spectrum of womanhood. Inspired by my own journey of reclaiming my wombs’ power, my sculptures represent vessels of empowerment. In a world that often silences or commodifies the feminine, my art stands as a reclamation, a visual language of reverence, acceptance, and strength. @sacredwombconnection www.sacredwombconnection.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795024522-ZOC5W3I7PAZG3DZM0YE5/Carole_W4+-+Sacred+Womb+Connection.jpeg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Divinity in Her Blood Whitney Carole Ceramic.

Barbara Esmark Monotype. 8 x 8. 12 x 12 Ask for Price For an exhibition with the theme of Earth, I wanted to depict Gaia, the goddess of Greek myth who created the Earth. As I worked, Gaia began to appear not as Greek, but as a woman of color – African. The source was deeply feminine, dark and rich. Deep and potent. I asked, ‘what is the condition of our Earth? What is the condition of our women, particularly our women of color? I began to create an environment for all my sisters. The form of a head and shoulders – a two-dimensional bust – appears frequently in my work. The work in this show is part of the Sister Series which began with "Sister," a collage. I used torn prints to form a body of magical rivers, vague distances and map-like lines to limn a contemporary mythic woman. I use the “bust” matrix giving each silk-screened Sister a unique personality, origin or environment through color, mood, weather. I then moved from the mythic to the quotidian with familiar imagery of nature, house, birds, bottles – women as the center of nature and domestic, generative life. Then, as I watched Amanda Gorman read her poem at the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden, head and shoulders - barely above the podium but held above the massive crowd - I had to find a way to hold her and that moment. I created five singular monoprints using the bold, graphic red, white and yellow framed in the bright blue of the sky. This one is entitled, Simply Unfinished, a question, a challenge and a hope from her poem. @esmarkart www.bravoechogallery.com. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1772579897173-ED78X5Q4O9R40O8RRKO6/image-asset.jpeg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Franca Viola Yona Gonen Mixed Media 8x10 $250 You are looking at a collage portrait of Franca Vila, a young Italian woman who defied an old Italian law requiring her to marry the rapist.

Lynch Marie Laveau Analog collage 11 x 14 $200 My creative process combines my pioneer-spirited West Texas roots with my New Orleans cultural life, throwing in Mardi Gras for lagniappe-a little something extra. I paint or mosaic with paper and most of my current artistic projects are mixed media paper, pen, and paint collage and assemblage. I enjoy making torn primitive representations as much as precision-cut pieces in which I remove parts of an image and replace it with magazine or patterned papers to re-create the image. My work has been influenced by photographs I’ve taken in New Orleans or from my travels. I incorporate quotes, lyrics, or poems to further elucidate the theme and to stir emotion. Visual texture and bright color are representative in my art. I also do traditional glass mosaics of unique contemporary design. Crafting various projects rounds out my artistic endeavors. I am enthusiastic about learning new techniques that I can combine with my current interests to produce exciting aesthetic experiences for the viewer. Many of my pieces are meant to simply be visually pleasing and leave the viewer with a smile or the recall of a positive memory. Recently, my pieces have been purpose-driven by current events and I have chosen images or narratives to express my opinions. carolmlynchartist carolmlynch.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795041801-OHA50G16TMM83IVL1ODV/The+Quest+for+Knowledge+2026+Lynch+8x8+-+Carol+Lynch.jpeg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - The Quest For Knowledge Carol M.

Always a Fine Art Portrait, and Fantasy creator, using Oil, Pastel, Colored Pencils, etc. My journey suddenly turned, I found myself now to have a nasty Nerve Dystrophy; my abilities to paint slow, and my hands not as patient as they used to be. Digital Art has allowed me to express myself beyond my disability. The portrait of Chelsea Goodwin, represents all the courage I have sought throughout my lifetime, and only recently- do I believe I have found it. It's because people like Chelsea and her late partner, Dr. Rusty Mae Moore existed. When Trans, Gay, "Others", needed a safe place, these two incredible souls offered their home in Park Slope to those who were afraid. Afraid of being the "Other". We see in the world right now, the fight for a safe place continues. For Me, those I hold highest amongst us are the Trans, Queer and "Other"s. Always the Shaman. Always the Medicine /Wise ones in every Indigenous culture. She is who I strive to be, strong- brave in their uniqueness! It's a Gift to be the "Other". Chelsea Goodwin is an Immortal. gaiafirstgraphics/facebook.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795010679-EXK2ROTN8L09139X6BGB/Nobler_L-Sonia-of-Ukraine+-+Leslie+Nobler.png Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Sonia Of Ukraine Leslie Nobler Mixed Media 20 x 15 $385 These portraits represent formidable women who use/d their incredible talents to overcome massive obstacles, racism, fear or precarity. Yet these women did not simply survive, they contributed wonderfully to culture. Following a rocky childhood, quasi-adoption, and fleeing the Nazis, Sonia Terk Delaunay eventually pursued art – achieving success, while paving the way for future women and refugee artists. Ettie Zilber, born in a WWII displaced person's camp, became a pioneering expert on intergenerational trauma – lecturing, writing, and helping survivors (before it became “trendy”). Amy Sherald overcame institutional racism and medical crisis while earning art acclaim. Her work amplifies racial issues, challenges for African-Americans, and the (new) erasure of their race from US history. These women promote progressive ideologies and social justice through their minds and hands. Likewise, my ongoing portrait series, attempts similar results, based upon intensive research into significant, resilient “creatives.” My practice combines social issue content with experimental printmaking and surface-design, in montaging symbols, words, patterns and snippets of these women's histories. The rich surfaces, patterns and colors, might seduce viewers into seeing the troubling/uplifting backstories lying below the surface. In celebrating the fortitude and grit of the female spirit, I endeavor to tell their inspiring stories. noblerlc https://www.leslienobler.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795009670-G6GJSHIH5TWOH9K6VQ7G/Nobler_L-Amy.s-Quilt+-+Leslie+Nobler.jpg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Amy's Quilt Leslie Nobler Digital Print [from mixed media collage 21 x 17 $350 Amy Sherald overcame institutional racism and medical crisis while earning art acclaim.

The Golden Child springs from the 17th-century mausoleum at Hamadan, Iran; below the building, at the top of the exterior staircase, is a smaller structure that was first attested in the 11th century as the original tomb of Esther and Mordecai. The Golden Child embodies a fusion of wild, innocent energy to nourish ferocity for the continuing work of liberation. The classic gendered ethos toward architectural archaeology plays an important role in my approach to the theme of this exhibition. Consequently, the artwork is accompanied by a takeaway pamphlet noting prominent male archaeologists and scribes from the 12th through the 20th centuries, whose researches at the Tomb of Esther reflect the patriarchal grip on historic meaning and interpretation. Philosopher Alison Wylie delineates guidelines imperative for conducting feminist archaeology. Among her four prime ethical points are an emphasis on the inclusion of experiences from people marginalized by gender, race, class, and other patriarchal categorizations, as well as the unequivocal need for researchers to engage in self-reflexive critique on their own privilege, values, and self-interest. To this day, feminist archaeology struggles to establish equity for female professionals in the field. "Archaeology has consistently been told to us ...from the male experience. In the received view...Empires are made by men, and the underlying labor and energy directly attributable to women lies hidden."

I chose to paint Frida as a modern-day saint—honoring a life of honesty and the courage to live outside society's rules. Frida’s impact was revolutionary because she refused to be quiet about what it was like to be a woman. She became a global hero for the disability community, showing that her medical struggles weren't something to hide, but part of her creative power. She changed her corner of the world by proudly embracing her Mexican heritage and living unapologetically—whether by being open about her bisexuality or defying gender roles by wearing men’s suits. On a personal level, Frida is a profound inspiration to me as I navigate my own health challenges. Her ability to keep creating and finding beauty despite constant physical struggle drew me to this subject. In The Iconic Nun, I used mixed media and real stitches on the canvas to represent the grit of a life lived with chronic pain. The stitches are a direct nod to the surgeries Frida endured, while the golden halo and crown show the honor she deserves. lalazenstudio www.ftentor.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795021906-OVWXQ7SL9RDIV4XFNPEV/HarrietT2026+-+Ann+Trocchia.jpg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Moses Ann Trocchia Oil on canvas 22 x 28 $750 No woman changed the world for the better like Harriet Tubman, as she is the symbol and representation of American democracy and the perseverance of freedom. Harriet Tubman, is the embodiment of struggle and perseverance. Her unwavering pursuit of freedom for all, guided by her belief, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer,” I wanted to reflect the courage it takes to follow an inner calling even when the path is dangerous and unseen. The birds surrounding her symbolize movement, escape, and the enduring hope of liberation carried across generations.

As young women they moved to Philadelphia and joined the Quakers. They became outspoken abolitionists and women's rights advocates. They were among the first American women to lecture publicly to mixed gender audiences, a radical act that challenged not only slavery but the legal and cultural silencing of women. Their published essays laid the intellectual groundwork for the Women's Rights movement decades before Seneca Falls. They also exposed the intimate gendered violence of slavery, speaking about the sexual exploitation of enslaved women. They were persecuted and publicly attacked for their views and fording to speak out as women, but persevered in their work. @joanwheelerartwork www.wheelerart.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795039529-AJQSGEQ5UA87R7K7M9G7/Wilde_S+-+Samantha+Wilde.jpg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Isadora Sam Wilde Mixed fiber and textile, handwoven, felted 9 x 11 $300 Figures emerged in my weaving spontaneously. As a freestyle improvisational weaver, my first tool is listening. “Maria” began when I received fabric as a gift. I looked at it and, completely out of the blue, heard her name. “Isadora” started with the words: “You were wild once. Don’t let them tame you.” Weaving to me, as an ancient practice, participates in a transmutive magc—the fibers and yarn are literally changed in the weaving and these two women, with their lives, wove transmutive magic. In weaving them, I feel the ways we walk in their legacy. Each is created from upcycled and repurposed fibers. The modern word “upcycle” captures for me not just the material of the weaving, but the metaphor of the work of the lives of those who come before us. We can take whatever we are given from our ancestors, from these women of history, and use it. Through what began as a fairly unimpressive pile of yarn, cloth and wool, they now express in form the substance of their power and vision. I think of Maria Mitchell’s words: “No woman should say, "I am but a woman!" But a woman! What more can you ask to be?” @thesamanthawilde thesamanthawilde.com https://www.facebook.com/authorSamanthaWilde Youtube: thesamanthawilde Substack: thesamanthawilde https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4f1f8cfcf7fd9d9e03ca67/1771795035582-WL0BGPZMSNTCLFMTIXGC/Wilde_S2+-+Samantha+Wilde.jpg Echoes of Esther: Women Who Changed Their Corner of the World - Maria Sam Wilde Handwoven fiber and mixed textile 12 x 32
