Women of Color: Healing America
Women of Color: Healing America
"Women of Color on the Frontlines" is a project initiated by a physician in response to the observation that female healthcare workers of color are underrepresented in the story of the US' fight against COVID-19. She put out a call to female physicians of color around the US to send their selfies and a call to artists to paint any portrait based on the selfies. I responded by painting 15 portraits in a single painting.

Your Breath Counts: Vote!
Your Breath Counts: Vote!
This painting brings together three major experiences in the US during 2020: racial pandemic, Corona pandemic, and the hope of change that voting brings. Fighting for breath is a common thread that runs through all these major events.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of two events that affected women’s lives significantly: the women’s suffrage in 1920 and the pandemic in 1918. Women voted and wore masks then. History repeated itself in 2020.
