Angela Finney:
I use two-dimensional media – painting, drawing, printmaking, fabric – to make moment-in-time observations and expressive statements about self, others, spirituality, and nature.
Jordan Frasure:
My name is Jordan Frasure and I am a feminist oil painter. My work serves to validate the experiences of women worldwide by taking an “art-as-protest” approach to the many current issues feminists are watching unfold. This body of work covers a wide range of topics including healthcare, politics, employment, censorship, and much more. The most important thing we can do as female artists is capture history by creating, which in turn unites women nationwide through consciousness-raising tactics.
Minnie Lucus: I use an array of different types of skills with my work such as photography, printmaking, collage, sewing, and mixed media. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and learning how to incorporate them my pieces.
Art has always been very important to me. As I grew up in a household that suffered parental narcissism and abuse. Art is my way to freely express my emotions and traumatic experiences. Growing up my family often forced me to cater to their demands without allowing me to truly think about who I was. As a result, I have created a series of pieces inspired off of my father’s verbal and psychological abuse. I feel like this is an extremely isolating and important topic that should be discussed more than it currently is. I aim to use my art to help others who have suffered similar situations to feel seen, acknowledged, and to know that they are not alone.
Natalie Curtis: My name is Natalie. I am a feminist, a partner, a mom, and an active ally of the LGBTQ+ community. My journey as an artist began as part of my healing process. While creativity has always been a part of me, it wasn’t until adulthood—when I started to confront and heal from trauma—that I truly embraced my artistry. Art became my safe space, a realm where I could be messy, angry, sad, joyous, and vulnerable. It gave me the freedom to feel emotions I once feared or avoided, and it taught me how to process, release, and ultimately heal through them.
My art, particularly my collages, often reflects my current emotional state. Today, I feel full of rage and fire, and my work channels that energy—frequently with political undertones. Through art, I strive not only to tell stories but to amplify voices and provoke thought. The power of art to heal and transform is real, and I am living proof of it.
Sarah Heinke: My work is an exploration of relearning oneself in the context of acceptance of the whole person, both the imperfect and worthy. I consider my personal experience of being conditioned as a woman to react to conflict with passivity, and I consider the experience of feeling constantly seen but not always for the right reasons.
My paintings offer “eternal life” to the women in my family, biological and chosen, in addition to myself, to preserve snapshots of who we are as multifaceted people. Through painting, I honor our bounty of emotions, rendering my figures in scenes where each and every moment promises the possibility of transcendence. I aim to regain agency over my life and the emotions that I am entitled to- which is something that generations of women before me never got a chance to do. I hope to add to the lexicon of female painters and aim to depict my subjects as strong, flawed, and most of all: human.
