GIRL POWER!
LUPEC presents the third annual all-women art show. Featuring incredible art by the most talented Pittsburgh women artists and a delicious classic cocktail! We'll also be serving up some women's history, riffing on this year's official theme of "Celebrating Women of Character, Courage and Commitment." And, in our case, CREATIVITY!
Facebook invite: https://www.facebook.com/events/742786399073727/
Also, find my work at the Detroit Contemporary for their WOMEN show.
I displayed 3 pieces celebrating women of pas, present and mythology.
I find these shows are still important and relevant because we have yet to achieve equal representation.

I will have artwork in Detroit, May 10 & 11 at the Tangent Gallery. Tattoo-inspired artwork of all mediums will be on gallery display from more than 150 local, national and international artists. INK serves to examine and celebrate the art, culture, lifestyle, history, anthropology and sociology of tattoos, tattooing, and being tattooed.
