Pearl of Great Price was inspired by an unwanted situation. After the death of a friend from cancer, herhusband convinced himself that I was to be his next wife andused the language menuse in patriarchal religions, calling me an elect lady and a pearl of great price. #religiousabuse #exmo #womensart

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?

I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

"in β€œCelestial Strip,” Kirsten Holt Beitler places a neon tree...alternative version of a gambler’s paradise. Does no one remember thinking God took a chance on us, or that He still does with every free soul He creates?" Read the full revies here. artistsofutah.org/15Bytes/cert... #WomensArt

Disclaimer:This sign is NOT for Harmons. I just couldn't resist though, considering I make signs about meal deals for a grocery store for a living. Opinions expressed here belong to me and only me. #grocerystoreartist #apieceofchicken #apieceofbroccoli #acorntortilla #andoneotherthing #3dollarmeal

Wrapped Up In A False Sense of Security, oil on panel, 18" x 18", 2020. This painting was my response to what was happening in my life working in a grocery store as an artist when the covid pandemic hit. It has won me several awards. #womensart #oilpainting #selfportrait #toiletpaper #covid

TrUmP blows and the Angel of Destruction appears. Ridiculous how he uses biblical language to manipulate people. I have to laugh at the insanity to take the edge off my anger. Made this in procreate after I saw his tweet yesterday. Bizzarro USA.

Celestial Strip, 24”x 12”. For Certain Women οΏΌInvitational, Brave Like Eve at BDAC. Exploring the effects of social media on religion and protest, I ask the viewer to consider how women’s spiritual courage & curiosity are celebrated yet contained within sanctioned forms of empowerment. #womensart

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

They'll have to use AI to make all their art since they're silencing and alienating every group that makes the actual real art.

Jacob and Jojo, oil. A portrait of my son and his beardie. I did a small acrylic color study, but still ended up changing my mind several times. As one does. #womensart #portraitpainting #beardeddragon #oilpainting #artprocessvideo
