We Are Power
When I made this print I was thinking a lot about sustainability and natural power. I was thinking of energizer bunnies, the power we have within ourselves, and one of the first stencils I made of a sneaky rabbit with the heading “sneaky and quick does the trick.” 10 color print, 9″ x 12Continue reading “We Are Power”

Struever Brothers, this huge development company that redeveloped the Baltimore waterfront, received huge tax breaks from the city (and are now in bankruptcy). Meanwhile, low incomeContinue reading “Birds Of Prey”

Our Bodies, Our Rights
This is a one color linoleum block print. Available for purchase here. We can not afford to allow the extreme radical right wing define the discussion around a woman’s reproductive rights.
