She the People

  • In Cissy's Eyes watercolor 10.5 x 13.5 framed size: 20 x 24 In Cissy's Eyes This painting is of my cousin at the age of about 3. It was taken from a very old and weathered photo, probably taken in 1949. It was the look in Cissy's eyes which inspired me to create this portrait.

  • I Am A Woman photography 36 x 24 I AM WOMEN, NOT A HOST On June 24, 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned, thousands gathered in New York City in urgent protest. I stood not only as a witness, but as a participant, using my camera as both instrument and voice. These two images form a single statement. On the front of her body, the words I Am Woman declare identity, autonomy, and presence. On her back, Not a Host confronts the reduction of women to vessels. Together, they hold the tension between visibility and erasure, power and vulnerability. Photographed in the surge of collective resistance, this woman’s body became both canvas and proclamation. She carries the language of protest on her skin, transforming flesh into testimony. Presented in Seneca Falls, where the women’s rights movement first took organized form, these images connect past to present. They ask what has changed, what remains fragile, and how we continue to stand — visible, embodied, and unyielding.

  • Eleanor Roosevelt: No, I Mean Yes mixed media on paper 19 x 13 framed size: 27 x 21 "Perhaps in these times where we see women's rights being literally ripped away from us, we can be inspired by those in the past like Eleanor Roosevelt who battled the odds and never gave up -- she fought for us. Let's keep fighting with all we have, from protest marches to voting for change to electing a judicial body that speaks for us. We must use all the tools we have, including conte crayon on paper, to salute our heroines and ignite others to continue the good fight. The battle continues . . . " Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • The Mariposa oil 20 x 24 framed size: 23 x 27 I was in Costa Rica on a residency and a butterfly flew into my studio, and I saw myself taking flight as an artist. In my early years, I had to use my husband's name to get admitted into galleries. I worked tirelessly as a feminist promoting women's rights, chaining myself to the Statue of Liberty with the Congresswoman Bella Absug. This portrait represents the freedom to express myself as an artist. The imagery around the background represents the nuts on a beach tree (beginnings). The red flowers represent my life flowering. The fern turning brown symbolized my life aging. The butterfly image illustrates my journey to express myself as a woman and an artist.

  • Rosy Dawn encaustic 24 x 24 The beautiful interior pattern of security envelopes inspired thinking about the concept of “security” & its promise. Hexagons found me a way to “security” blankets and to the long traditions of quilting in America. The subversive use of quilts guided African Americans fleeing the South to safety in the North and recently found me a way to express the importance of our vanishing first amendment rights. Published lists of words that are not to be used resulted in my subtly insinuating reminders of our Right to Free Speech in the encaustic hexagons Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • Join the Fight acrylic, collage, charcoal 24 x 24 Framed Size: 26 x 26 "Join the Fight" is part of my ongoing series, "Between the Lines," inspired by more than 500 letters my father wrote home during World War II. Written almost daily to his girlfriend, mom, and sisters, these letters document not only the experience of war, but the emotional lifeline between those who served and those who waited. This portrait of my dad's mother in the spirit of a WWII poster symbolizes the countless women who held families together on the home front. She had two sons actively fighting and a third who enlisted just before the war came to an end. It captures the many women of her generation: their strength expressed through endurance rather than spectacle managing daily life, sustaining hope, and offering steady reassurance through letters that crossed oceans. Across the Between the Lines series, fragments of handwritten correspondence are embedded into the surfaces of the paintings. These letters function as both historical record and intimate voice, reminding us that national events are lived through personal relationships. Patriotic symbols appear not as decoration, but as lived realities—woven into ordinary lives shaped by sacrifice and responsibility. As we mark 250 years of American freedom, "Join the Fight" honors the women whose labor, resilience, and emotional leadership made that freedom possible. Their contributions were often invisible, yet foundational. This work asks viewers to recognize freedom not only as something won in battle, but also as something preserved at home—through devotion, courage, and unwavering resolve.

  • Ode to Untamed Women oil 24 x 24 Using Women's Suffrage sheet music in the National Archives and the colors of the movement (yellow, purple, white), this piece brings the past struggles and present challenges together with words and imagery. The sepia yellow sashes are filled with the chants and songs of the past, while the central bright yellow sash is inscribed with all of the worst thoughts and statements made about women today. The lighted focal box contains a simple message supported by the actions of the past: You Will Not Break Us, We Will Prevail. This lighted box includes a white extension cord and must be plugged in to light. Dandelions represent grit, perseverance, and finding ways to grow and survive even in the most unfavorable environments. Women of today can take hope and inspiration from our foremothers, despite all of the vile anti-feminist ideas bombarding us today. We will prevail.

  • Access with Absurd Assumptions oil 18 x 36 Framed Size: 19.5 x 37.5 On one of our trips abroad, we visited a lovely stone church. We were stunned by the voluminous steps by which a truly handicapped person could not possibly navigate. Yet, there was a small handicapped sign at the TOP of the stairs. I hope they have since improvised a way to help those who cannot help themselves. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • In Full Recognition No. 3 acrylic 12 x 12 Framed Size: 18 x 18 In my contribution of a series of three images to the She the People exhibit, I use the monoprint process to explore the delicate boundary between being seen and being forgotten. Inherently, a monoprint is a singular, unrepeatable ghost of an image—a fitting metaphor for the unique yet often marginalized lives of women throughout our nation’s history, particularly women of color in our national narrative. The fading image of the woman in resplendent headdress (In Full Recognition No. 1) represents the systemic invisibility and erasure that have long sought to diminish her power. As the image recedes over the second and third prints in the series (In Full Recognition No. 2 and No. 3), it also demands a more intentional gaze and prompts feelings of grasping to fully memorialize her before she is gone. What remains when a collective voice is suppressed? What is reclaimed when we center Her-story? This piece does not simply mourn collective loss for what could have been but aims to transform that loss into an empowered future where every woman is fully recognized and heard.

  • Crosswalk 3 printmaking 8 x 10 Framed Size: 15 x 17 On June 14, 2025, protests against a wannabe king took place all over the country. Leaving the protest, as we crossed the street, I took a photo of the characters in this image. It seemed quite emblematic of the time we are in now, when liberty is at stake. A woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty and was crossing simultaneously with a woman holding a "No Kings" placard and a woman in an abaya covering, with a small boy. There were others, so I included a gentleman to round it out. The photo, for me, was not enough, nor was the watercolor painting I made from it. I had to challenge myself, and this print is one of the two best from a very difficult registration process. I felt it worth pursuing as a moment in history and culture. The crosswalk is a good symbol- representing what we are crossing from and where we are going. The characters are many, and all worthy of liberty. The crosswalk may also represent following the rules for our own safety. Freedom does have its boundaries. This is a tribute to the US Constitution and its basic premises, that we can all walk here as long as we are following the rules.

  • Hands Across Nations oil 16 x 20 Framed Size: 18 x 22 Bringing peace in the world needs a great effort by everyone. I like to think that women know best how to reach out in friendship. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.    
  • U.S. Constitution in a Knot sculpture 41 x 25 x 25 “U.S. Constitution in a Knot” distills the current political impasse into sculptural form. Robin Antar carves the full text of the Constitution, with all seven articles, into a tightly bound marble knot, transforming a foundational democratic document into an image of tension and entanglement. The work speaks to a nation caught in partisan gridlock, where core principles feel strained yet remain structurally intact. The knotted form is held aloft by a carving of the artist’s own hands, asserting individual accountability and the role of personal agency in sustaining civic ideals. Below, a bed of rough granite chips contrasts with the polished marble, evoking fragmentation, erosion, and the instability of public discourse. Through material precision and symbolic compression, Antar positions realism as a vehicle for critique, presenting the Constitution not as a static relic, but as a living framework under pressure, twisted and contested yet still upheld.
