March is Women's History Month

March is Women’s History Month, a great time to focus on the female identifying artists of the past and today!  Art Collective is home to the art of 21 women, and a few of them agreed to share their reflections on women who inspire them. Interestingly they are all living artists! 

Take some time this month to learn about a woman artist! #womenshistorymonth #womenartists

​From Deana Greenberg of Six Gables Originals: I admire the artist Kat O'Sullivan.  She lives her life with kindness and creativity and color, just plugging along at what she loves.  She designs beautiful upcycled garments and has a wide following.  But she has no interest in a commercial brand, she just makes as much as she's able, sells them to her loving fans, and makes enough to live her simple, colorful life.

From Lisa Scarbath of Pieceful Designs Mosaics:  I admire, my mother, Pat Lang who is an oil painter. As a self-taught artist, she has learned to succeed in a world that has traditionally valued formal education and qualifications. She has spent a lifetime of learning, challenging herself and improving to rise above mainstream ideals and adapt to a virtually social world.

From Chelsea:  My favorite living artist is Kecia Deveney. She puts so much of her soul into her creations. No matter what type medium she uses : painting, fabric surface design, jewelry or her mixed media pieces, you know it’s her style and soul.
