Vision: An Artist's Perspective by Gutfreund Cornett Art and UniteWomen.org

Katherine Collins Springfield, Ohio

Alabaster Oil on canvas 20 x 16 inches 2016

This painting is part of a larger series of work I completed while finishing my undergraduate degree, which I received just this spring. It is intended to explore concepts of identity and personality, and what we as humans tend to conceal or reveal to the world at large. I want its meaning to be fluid, able to shift for every person who happens to view it. In my eyes, it has the potential to open a commentary on many current global issues, including womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights, identity, gender and racial inequality, and cultural instability. So please always look at art, of any kind, with an open heart and mind.

About

Exhibition Catalog for "VISION". Envision, conceive of, imagine . . . In this turbulent time of political changes, women's rights, social, racial, gender and economic inequality, global conflicts, cultural instability, reproductive choice/health care issues, and environmental challenges of overconsumption and resource scarcity - how do we effect positive change through art? How do we listen, speak our minds, include, and act in collaboration or alone across generational differences, races, identities and cultures, to build our future, locally and globally? VISION seeks to bring self-identified women artists into dialogue, retracing an account of the past manifesting in the present, to address major social themes, to define and bring forth what is important to themselves, their families, their communities, our nation and the world at large with art that either reflects on past injustices or focuses on a vision for a more positive, empowering future.
