September Art Journal Pages





The news has affected me greatly..
gentle reader...

Our supreme court hearings
to be precise..










and perhaps it has affected you as well..








My pages this month are about...
speaking out..
speaking up...
loudly..














we will not be silenced..
we will go as uppity women..
we will take care of ourselves ..










and stand up for each other..
and for all women who have a right to be heard ..







We have been invisible for too long..
it is time to live large and loudly..

If you were ever abused, physically, sexually, or harassed physically or sexually,
raped or harmed in anyway..
Or told to just "get on" with your life..
if the laughter of "boys being boys" still reverberates in your ears and is 
permanently burned into your memory..

then this spread is for you..
it is for me..
and it is for all the women of our past,
now long gone..
those who went to their graves..
in 

Silence..


Ingredients: Gesso, pen and ink, antique ephemera, tissue papers, acrylic paint, paint pens, colored pencils, Antique photo, tape.
