Women artists face challenges that can inhibit their creative work: raising children, beginning new careers, moving to a foreign country, facing a life threatening illness, caring for aging parents, changing careers in mid-life.

Nevertheless, She Persisted.

Despite the unique challenges of womanhood, or because of these challenges, women continue to create…to heal, to express emotions not easily put into words, because of spiritual or financial necessity, to connect to a larger community, to find joy, to tell stories, to give back to those who have supported them, to overcome limitations, to show the next big idea, to find one’s way regardless of the lack of permission or acceptance.

Nevertheless, She Persisted.
