2026 ARTWORK

Portrait painting of Elaine Brown from her youth, seen from waist up, wearing a dark suit jacket over a pink turtleneck sweater, her arms crossed. Behind her the background is in shades of green, and a silhouette of a black panther animal is behind her leaping, referencing a BPP poster.

Shirley Chisholm, standing arms crossed looking confident, slight smile, wearing a roughly painted 3 piece suit in rosy colors, against a yellow background.

Close up portrait of Josephine Baker in color, in her heyday as a performer. She is facing forward, but her eyes look to the side, mouth slightly open. Background is gesso tinted in a salmon color.

A woman with shoulder length red hair wearing a purple top is walking forward holding a burning match. Behind her is a green banner that reads “Patriarchy” in lighter green letters in all caps, that is burning. Her eyes turn to see the flames devouring the banner.

A beautiful white woman with short dark curly hair seen from shoulders up, leans her head on her hand. She wears a gold emergency blanket, with part formed into a high collar, making it look like a gold cloak. Behind is a dark green background with a few lines of gold like kintsugi.

A beautiful white woman with dark cropped curly hair is wearing a gold & silver emergency blanket with gold on the outside and it shaped on her like a fancy cloak with a silver high collar. She has her arms around & protective of a young child, maybe 7 or so, also wearing an emergency blanket, with only the silver side seen. The child is facing us looking direct. The woman has eyes also direct with a suspicious, but strong look. Behind is a building wall in dark grey with a large map on it, a portion of it burning.

a beautiful woman with very short black hair with tight curls is looking face on, with a gold emergency blanket wrapped around her, one hand clutching an edge. Behind is a pastoral landscape scene less realistically painted in greens, with a rosy sunrise sky.

A beautiful woman with short dark hair wearing a gold emergency blanket is walking in front of a rock wall carrying a small root ball with two peach cuttings. Behind is a landscape of houses and tall trees in blue, and a sky and ground in peach tones. Making it look very surreal and eerie. It looks like fire is all around. We see a tiny bit of another emergency blanket, another person is in front of her. They are walking away from it.

White woman with short dark hair, head tilted, looking direct. She is seated on wood chair, wearing gold emergency blanket like a shawl, green leafy pattern behind.

A white woman with short dark hair is seated confidently on a sofa in a golden colored top leaning one arm on pattern pillows. Behind is a colorful landscape picture abstractly painted in blues, pinks, yellow & green, on a salmon colored wall seen on one side.
