My Artwork Featured in: Women in Art 278
I am proud to announce my artwork was included in "Women in Art Magazine 278". Women in Art 278 Magazine showcases and unites female artists across age, ethnicity, geographical locations and art genres. Each issue features a variety of female artists ranging from photography, sculptors, painters, jewelry designers, fashion designers, welders and more. This magazine is a platform to help give women in art a voice. Which as a female artist it is important to me, that these publications exist. Believe it or not the sad truth is that there is still a wide gender gap in art representation. Did you know?
Although art is thought to be progressive and liberating, the facts here show such a slow progression in gender equality. Being a female artist myself I need to bring awareness to the issue and push for a change. I am honored to be a part of the Women in Art publication. Feel free to go to go take a look at their digital publication.Sources: 1. Women, Art, and Society, 4th edition, 2007. 2. The Reckoning: Women Artists of the New Millennium, 2013. 3.
