Twenty Women Artists
Pictured at the Oceanside Museum of Art for our exhibit, NOW
I have been in the collective of women artists for the past 5 years. We are ethnically and age diverse, yet our strong commitment to powerful art, makes us quite a cohesive group. Our monthly meetings help keep us in tune with current and historical events; and allows for a sharing of our personal struggles and triumphs. Comradery, information and encouragement for a population who frequently work in isolation.
We have written and presented programs and exhibited together at: the Canon in 2018, 17 on Being Seventeen, Fresh Paint Gallery in 2020, 20/20 Twenty Women of Vision, and the Oceanside Museum of Art in 2021, NOW exhibit.

Social commentary. I believe it's the artist's obligation to interpret the social, natural, personal and political environment and interpret her impression through her medium. It's easy to see my point of view from my paintings, however, instead of turning off others with a dissimilar view, I hope it opens the door to introspection and conversation. We are one nation, and we need to work together to make it more equitable, and safe for all our people.

From the small collage came the 10 foot works. This one, Under Tow , was my first attempt. This one did not get placed on exhibit, as a matter of fact, I tore it off the canvas. At the time, I felt it inappropriate to appropriate someone else's story, certainly without showing the causation. This work shows the devastation, but not causation. I wish I had saved it, it was very powerful and as an ally, I have a voice and an obligation but I do feel, there needs to be more to the story.

The first collage for the exhibit, shows doctors and nurses working diligently over patients ad infinitum while many of the public, in lock down, were still secretly getting together for parties and gatherings.
