I'm interested in exploring the role of women in our government, especially their public personae. Each painting is 6"x6" and watercolor. The works were on view at the Billboard Art Project in Atlanta, GA, Sept 29-Oct 12, 2012, and http://womenofthe112th.tumblr.com/ has over 62,000 followers on Tumblr. Journalist Jess Bennett called a recent infographic "the most beautiful infographic I’ve ever seen." Visit womenofthe112th.tumblr.com for more info and updates.
