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.

Julia Ann watercolor with collaged watercolor 24 x 18 framed size: 25 x 19 Julia Ann was born at the end of the Civil War. She married when she was 15 years of age and had her first child at 18. Julia Ann and her husband had thirteen children; twelve lived to adulthood. During her lifetime, women could not own property and could not vote. It is hard to imagine how many diapers she washed or how she grew and cooked enough food while keeping the household running. Family stories include how she refused to learn to drive, even after the family owned a car. She made extra household income by selling butter and eggs to neighbors, delivering them by horse-drawn surrey. Stories are told of how she made deliveries quickly, frequently turning down conversations and gossip to get to her next delivery.

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 . . .

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.

Maiores 1 watercolor 30 x 22 Framed Size: 34 x 25 I like to make connections between things I understand and things I don’t. For the show “She the People”, I chose to make paintings about the connection between the seven women heroes of the Old Testament and early suffragettes. Didn’t these heroes lay the foundation for how the suffragettes thought about women’s roles in society? I began the paintings with layers of gold, scarlet, indigo, and purple, the colors used to make the veils for the ancient tabernacle in Jerusalem and the ephod, a special garment worn by the high priest. Then I added the names. What emerged were Maiores 1 and 2 (Maiores is Latin for forebears.) celebrating Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Hannah, Abigail, Huldah, and Esther.

Familiar Rose intaglio 8 x 5.5 Framed Size: 17 x 14 This is a portrait of Rose Greenfield Cliffer, 1901-1979. The solarplate etching was made from a picture of her in her 20's in the 1920's. Rose was born in Romania, and came to the US as a child, as (Jewish?) girls could not be educated at that time in Romania.. She was elegant (hat and white gloves), strong and hard-working. She was a seamstress, a Marshall Fields store model, and the mother of my father and his twin brother (died at age 6) and my aunt Carole Cliffer Kramer. Her "bob" speaks of the fashion of the time, and my heart speaks to the thoughtful gaze that was captured by this young woman, my grandmother. She had a "green thumb," kept a jade plant in her window that overlooked Lake Michigan, smoked Kent cigarettes, and taught us many card games. I felt the print needed my touch, so added the line and pastel work to enhance the image. I continue to honor her memory.

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.

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.

Spring Vibe acrylic and charcoal on canvas 20 x 16 With a strong background in Natural History and Botany, I am very much drawn to abstracting from nature both on a gross and cellular level. I have a fascination with the structures, forms, and colours of stems, leaves, flowers, roots, and fruiting bodies of the plants I know so well. The twisted and intertwined organic nature of gardens and natural places is where I gather much of my inspiration these days. I am fascinated with abstracting from both the living and dead forms of plants, and I am just as happy painting neglected flower beds with all the weeds and rotting wood and fungi as I am a manicured garden. Strong brushstrokes, colour, and texture are key elements to most of my works. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Tribute acrylic, Photos printed on vellum collaged on cradled birch board 18 x 24 I’m half-Japanese, half-white. My father’s Japanese-American family was unjustly held in the concentration camp in Minidoka, ID during WWII only because of their ancestry. Around 120,000 Japanese-Americans were rounded up on the West Coast and imprisoned. Over half of them were American citizens but were deprived of their constitutional right to habeas corpus--the right to defend themselves in court. I created "Tribute" to honor my relative Geri Takahashi who was put into concentration camp, along with two of her brothers, a sister and her mother, at the age of 21. She was born in the USA so was an American citizen. She had never even been to Japan yet was treated as if she was a war criminal. Being unjustly incarcerated at a young age affected her self esteem and she never dated or married, she just worked 6 days a week and volunteered in her Protestant church. Like many of her generation who were in camp, she would never speak of her time there. My hope is that "Tribute" tells the story that she could not.

Now and Then acrylic with gold foil and modeling paste 18 x 22 The painting is a tribute to the importance of etiquette and self pride in the African-American Community. Debutante Balls and etiquette classes were started in the 1800s in Black Communities and continue to be an important part of the societal education of young women in the South. The girl on the left reflects modern times and the girl on the right reflects the same ideals in the 1800s.

Stiff acrylic monoprint on paper 12 x 9 From a series of prints exploring the condition of our physical bodies, women’s physical selves, and what they mean to our lives.

The Falconi Twins (Second Violin, Principal Viola) photo and pigmented beeswax combines on Kozo and wood panel 36 x 24 I create visual biographies honoring communities whose narratives have been marginalized, erased, or never recorded. "The Falconi Twins" portrays the resilience of two women from my childhood town who defied societal expectations in the 1970s. These women lived together, posed as twin sisters, and dressed identically to evade the scrutiny of the conservative community. In truth, they were a gay couple seeking refuge in a world that struggled to accept them for who they truly were. This portrait is a fusion of orphaned vintage photographs, my photographs, abstract drawings, and antique ephemera in subtle layers of pigmented beeswax on Kozo. I replicated a solitary figure to create a twin, etched intricate patterns and sgraffito onto the platform, balustrade, and figures to weave a narrative of secrets and shared experiences that remain unreadable to outsiders. This is a portrait of the power of love, resilience, and enduring bonds. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Sima oil on Wood Panel 4 x 4 Portraits are immeasurably fascinating to me for their breadth of expression. They can articulate an expansive language of mood and atmosphere. They can convey intent, brashness or delicacy, anxiety or hesitation. A viewer can vicariously venture into the realm of a face to invent a story about a person. I wanted to make these portraits in a miniature scale, so to bring a viewer close in proximity to the individual moods of each woman. They are intimate in scale yet vigorously alive with thick paint. Each portrait is 4" X 4", oil on wood panel. Painted with tiny brushes, the portraits of these women nevertheless remain hugely present. They reflect an unshakable vitality immersed in atmospheric spaces. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Embrace Yourself As You Are found objects 9 x 5 x 5 I am a narrative found object assemblage sculptor. This work is from my Relationship With Female Beauty/Image Series. Women are bombarded with images of how we should look, what we should wear, the products we should use. Our face, our hair, our bodies are judged by some unrealistic standard. No wonder so many young girls struggle with body image. At the other end of the spectrum, we older women often feel we are invisible. I do feel that some women are now standing up to this barrage and reminding us that we are each beautiful in our own way. I am trying to do my part in this effort. I started collecting vintage compacts and beauty products and was motivated to create a series of work reminding us that we are so much more than our reflection in the mirror. All women and girls, all sizes, shapes, colors, and ages should feel beautiful about themselves. Whether you are a cowgirl or a ballerina "Embrace Yourself As You Are."

Help Us! digital, archival photograph 10 x 8 My photography portfolios deal with beauty that I find in simple places. I search for art in places often overlooked by people rushing by: street abstractions formed by the effects of traffic and the erosion of painted lines; art in the visible layers of torn papers restructured by random anonymous participants; torn ads; changes from weathering; oxidized rusted surfaces creating patterns and vistas; reflections in puddles; ponds, or store windows; ice patterns; simple arrangements of flowers and fruit at markets.

R.B.J:Justice stains, foils, lashes, stitching, Elizabethan ruffle on cartapesta 12 x 7 x 6 During the COVID-19 pandemic I made masks--not for health protective reasons or to distribute to health care workers but to record what was happening during that regime changing era. In September 2020, our honorable Supreme Court justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg died. Like many women and men, I looked up to her and admired her accomplishments, particularly appreciating her advocacy for gender equality and women's rights, and for encouraging women to speak up about their experiences with sexual harassment. I honored her life with a cool-blue mask, stitched on her eyeglasses so she could continue to look over us and our lives, and amplified her signature collar with an Elizabethan ruffle. The mask is part of my "The Future Has an Ancient Face" series of 24 masks that chronicle political, cultural and medical events during the 2 years of the 2020-2022 pandemic.

She Spoke Up XXIII, Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson charcoal on arches paper 22.5 x 30 The ‘She Spoke Up’ series began as a reaction to the destructive and inflamed political and social climates. With the cascading revelations of the Me Too movement, centennial anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment, surreal landscape of the Covid pandemic unfolding, and the incessant assault on democracy by our elected politicians, I chose to elevate the work and words of women who have spoken truth to power, pursued freedom and equity, and transformed the broader world. Collectively the series stands as a response to so much misogyny, ill intent, sexism and obstruction. Parrot fish, symbolizing adaptability, possibility and freedom, are potent symbols of creative potential, and the world’s intricacies and healing mechanisms. I integrated specific bird and natural imagery into each work in the series, finding their symbolism often uncannily mirrored the characteristics of each woman. The series reflects on the struggles and inequities of the past, underscores the fundamental challenges that still exist, highlights the transformative achievements of intelligent, courageous women, and suggests possible tomorrows.

Figurines for Marija Gimbutas stains and metallic paint on cartapesta 8.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 If I hadn't been an artist I would have been an archeologist. The woman I would have bowed to and chased on every dig was Gimbutas. Marija Gimbutas was archaeologist and anthropologist known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures. She theorized that the arrival of the Kurgs—the original Proto-Indo-Europeans-- shows how cultures of domination and patriarchy took over the Old European civilization which was centered around the worship of the Earth, The Great Goddess. To make the figurines, I first made small clay sculptures and wrapped them in paper, like 'mummies.' When paper and hardening agents dried, I pulled out the clay sculpture, repaired the wound, and then painted neolithic patterns, similar to the patterns Gimbutas found on pottery from her digs in Eastern Europe, on the figurines.

We Came So Far oil, pastel, acrylic goache, and charcoal on arches oil paper mounted on panel 33 x 24 We're born into our specific time and location- with its own set of cultural norms and realities. I've found myself trying to untangle these. Faced with nostalgia and engaged in personal reckoning, my paintings use broken color and line to create and then break the very figures I render. The surface becomes rich with layered marks as I scratch and draw into the paper. Slowly building the surface, I question more of my own understandings and those driving change. This forms a dialog between myself, those who have come before me, and those who will come. The women are never fully rendered or depicted as smooth and perfect; nostalgia lies- it was never perfect. Each painting also asks the overarching question "What would they say?" These women, standing near but not too close to a house, seem to say, "We came so far." And then, "But where are we going?" Those who came before us demand that we not forget or succumb to nostalgia; nostalgia for a past that was never designed with women's full potential in mind, that seems to be sweeping our country again.

Presence and The Past acrylic 24 x 24 My work explores the intersection of individual presence and collective history, navigating the nuanced complexities of the feminine perspective. I paint women engaged in introspection, inhabiting a space where reflection intersects with lived experience. Through a process of layering and refinement, an interplay between color, form, and surface depth is revealed. This physical history serves as a metaphor, honoring the influence of women whose stories weave the fabric of shared legacy. By prioritizing the female gaze, I visualize the 'seen and unseen' — embodying the resonance between the external world and the internal life of the figure.

Celtic Bond | A Daughter and Her Mother Mixed media on canvas with wood panel backing, digitally printed background with hand applied oil pen, paint, textured 30 x 30 This work presents a mother and daughter as children, drawn from the artist’s own life. Their figures stand together within a wooded place that recalls years shaped by hardship imposed by those nearest to them. The mother, having grown up without protection, became a steady presence for her child during a time marked by fear, control, and emotional strain. Through attention and resolve, she remained beside her daughter and guided her through what could not be avoided. The forest holds the memory of enclosure and of passage. It marks a period when remaining alert was necessary and when leaving together required courage. The bond between the two figures reflects a decision made and upheld. It speaks to protection given where none had been received, and to the endurance carried from one generation to the next. This work stands as a record of maternal devotion and shared survival. It honors the strength of women who persist, protect, and carry their children forward, shaped by experience and sustained through responsibility.

All Weather Mom, Harding Elementary School 2021 dry pastel on paper 15.75 x 10.75 Harding Elementary School in Albany CA is alive with great images right when school is out for the day. There was a slight break in the wether so that this Mom and her little kid could maybe get home dry but have some fun on the way. My pleasure to record this moment.

Posing bronze on marble base 12 x 3 x 5 I saw a photo of a model posing - self assured, and confident in her image. Posing, the sculpture, reflects how we want to be seen, even if it is only in our imagination. The piece was created in clay, then a rubber mold was poured over the clay. the mold goes to a casting foundry where a wax is created and a bronze poured.

Breaking Loose fired stoneware with an applied patina 9 x 9 x 11 She started in a block of clay. As material is carved away the figure emerges. Her message is of being contained, finding her self worth, and then breaking loose of her confines to freedom.
