"I am a feminist artist who has been making art for over 45 years. I take on the issues of the female experience of love, sex, romantic relationships, discrimination and power. The empowerment I am speaking of is of sexual liberation and societal liberation. It is meant to raise awareness and continue the struggle for equality. I feel that art can create both awareness of life and true beauty at the same time."- Deborah Vanko -Artist, activist, psychotherapist, and founding member of Women and Their Work "The Personal Is Political" exhibition recommended by Roxanne Szal of Ms Magazine! A catalog from the exhibition is available to order.
