I am a northern Arizona collage artist and printmaker who co-facilitated Make Art Make Justice workshops for non-artists for Showing Up for Racial Justice in CA from 2017-2024. A former sociologist and organizer, I believe that art is an engine for the courage, dreaming and world-building that builds people power and strengthens democracy. In addition to nature-inspired prints and collages, I make political art. Like every creature, I contain multitudes. And so does collage. Collage allows me to explore how I am both complicit in and actively resisting the human systems that produce large scale suffering. Through layering and juxtaposition, covering and revealing, collage allows visualization of how I wrestle with my own denial and accountability in these systems. This work was made during the 2025 Politics in Collage residency by the Kolaj Institute, in which we were asked to produce collages in conversation with Martin Mycielski’s Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide. The text printed over in red in the eyeglasses is from Donald Trump’s How to Think Like a Billionaire and the pages are a blow by blow account of the day to day experience he had while filming The Apprentice. This collage points to the use of spectacle as a distraction, but also Trump (insert other authoritarians here) as a rage-generator, both for his supporters and for his opposition, and the ways in which that rage gets in the way of seeing clearly.

The U.S. Constitution is being attacked by politicians that don’t respect its provisions that create co-equal branches of government that balance power between the president, Congress and the Courts. Democracy is in danger when the rule of law is ignored. We don’t elect kings. I use a variety of media in my artwork, including acrylic paint, alcohol ink, India ink, black gesso, colored pencil, textured paper and occasionally things that I find on the road. The menacing face came about by accident, but it typifies the present danger to the constitution.

Scottsdale, Arizona has been my home since 1977, a place where my artistic journey flourished. From an early age, my passion for art has been a guiding force, continuing through high school and my service in the Navy. High school art competitions brought both challenges and rewards, including a 1st Place ribbon in the Fire Prevention Week Art Contest and the American Legion’s Poppy Poster Contest.
Although I am primarily self-taught, I have expanded my skills through classes at the Community College and Scottsdale Art School, and through a professional artist friend. We shared a wonderful friendship, enjoying plein air painting in the desert.
My work is primarily oil and other mediums, exploring new challenges and achieving interesting results. My subjects range from traditional landscapes, still life, florals, to pencil portraits. Recently, I have focused on message art, particularly patriotic and veteran oriented themes. This direction is inspired by my interactions with veterans, utilizing art to combat PTSD and to honor their sacrifices. My initiative underscores the invaluable contributions made by veterans, first responders and their families.
My art has changed over the years, I have become more thoughtful about messaging. Influ-enced by the country’s dividedness, destructive ideology, lack of appreciation for those who made America the “greatest country in the world.” Having this passion is the challenge to convey patriotism and love of country. The Statue of Liberty resonates with my childhood when most emigrants came through Ellis Island, and came to earn and fulfill the American Dream. I can’t imagine the emotion they must have had for the first time to see “Lady Liberty”.

I enjoy exploring the world of art through mixed media. My main medium is ceramics, but I’m drawn to the versatility of mixed media. The many ways I can combine painting, ceramics, found objects, and more, all in one piece. My work is a fusion of colors, textures, and different materials that come together to create unique and vibrant pieces. The various colors and textures are integral elements in my work, allowing me to express my ideas and emotions in a tangible form.
John K. is a creator hailing from Phoenix. With a passion for art ignited at a young age, he is a self-taught artist whose work draws inspiration from the realms of science fiction, society and the wonders of nature. John’s artistic vision is influenced by the surreal masterpieces of Salvador Dali and the mind-bending designs of M.C. Escher. He blends ceramics and mixed media to craft unique pieces that captivate the imagination. With every creation, John K. invites viewers to explore the extraordinary intersections of reality and fantasy.

My art is created because of an intense drive to express thoughts. In these expressions truths make themselves public. The realizations art captures are not distortions. They are highly condensed depictions of perceived reality. The foundation of art is firmly rooted in the tangible. Molded from struggles, dedication, sacrifice and joy of discovery, creativity is a disparate roller coaster ride of intoxicating heights and crushing depths. Fueling the journey is the persistent desire to locate the most eloquent execution possible.
Kurt Joachim von Behrmann was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1962 to a German Father and an American Mother. From that time to the present, he has followed in his father’s footsteps as an Artist, Educator and Art Writer. The tradition of creating art and music was always a strong one on both sides of his family. Like many visual artists, he began creating small scale drawings. That interest in communicating visually remained consistent.

With this piece I used a combination of soft and harsh household materials to mirror the duality of a storm: both destructive and mesmerizing, uncontrollable and fleeting. Her dress and hair symbolize the intensity of a lightning storm, while also commenting on the excess of modern consumerism that feeds into our environment’s fragility. Her message is to stand against a society driven by obsessive materialism, to reclaim our breath from the smog and fog of excess, where plastic tides choke the seas and the quiet poison of waste weaves through our blood and soil alike.
My work often explores themes of transformation, rebirth, & the intertwining of nature and humanity. I enjoy creating art from recycled materials to demonstrate the power of reimagining the discarded, finding beauty in the overlooked, & breathing new life into objects that would otherwise go to waste. Using uncommon or unexpected materials for art is an impactful way to highlight the interconnectedness of life, and the impact of our relationship with both nature and the environment.

Berta Isabel Caceres Flores 1971-2016
Berta was a Honduran environmental activist, indigenous leader (member of the Lenca) and co-founder and coordinator of the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). She won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015, for “a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world’s largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam” at the Río Gualcarque.
In 2006 a joint venture project was begun between a Chinese company, the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation, and Honduran company Desarrollos Energéticos, S.A.to construct a series of four hydroelectric dams on the Gualcarque River.
From 2013, Cáceres led COPINH and the local community in a year-long protest at the construction sites which had breached international law by failing to consult with the local people on the project. They wanted to prevent the companies from accessing the land. Security officers regularly removed protesters from the site. On 15 July 2013, the Honduran military opened fire on the protesters, killing one member of COPINH and injuring three others. The community reported regular threats and harassment from the company employees, security guards, and the military. In May 2014, members of COPINH were attacked in two separate incidents that resulted in two members dead and three seriously injured.
In late 2013, both Sinohydro and the International Finance Corporation withdrew from the project because of COPINH’s protests. Desarrollos Energéticos continued, however, moving the construction site to another location to avoid the blockade.
On the night of 2 March 2016, Cáceres was shot dead in her home by armed intruders. All over the world, indigenous people are at the forefront of environmental activism and being murdered. I chose an image of Berta that is very sweet because I wanted it to contrast with the knowledge that she was brutally murdered for her activism.
I have lived in Phoenix for 28 years, 25 of those as a self-employed artist and decorative painter, painting murals as well as canvases. Art is philosophical for me and a place to contemplate how thoughts create stories and how imagination creates reality. I have a strong desire to assist people to experience life more fully. Through realism, careful attention to detail, rich colors and unusual points of view, my art can prompt a viewer to marvel at existence, to be more keenly aware of their surroundings and be more intrigued with their environment and their life.

Billie

Billie Holiday (Eleanora Fagan) 1915-1959
Billie Holiday was an American jazz and swing music singer with a career spanning 26 years. Nicknamed “Lady Day”, Holiday had an innovative influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills.
The painting is specifically about the famous song “Strange Fruit”, named Song of the Century by Time in 1999. The song was written by American song-writer and poet Abel Meeropol (a.k.a. Lewis Allen) yet once Billie Holiday sang the three brief stanzas to music in 1937, the song was hers.
The song’s lyrics were shocking to some members of Holiday’s mostly white audiences:
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
This is especially poignant at this time with global civil unrest which points to the fact that racism is still very present.
I chose this view of Billie because she is looking directly at us with an almost accusatory expression. She sang the song for almost 20 years and still things barely changed. In fact, it may be a combination of racism and this song that was her ultimate downfall because the commissioner for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was an extreme racist, even for the 1930s. He made a point of coming after her. She had recurring bouts of alcohol and drug use, most likely to deal with her trauma form childhood and teenage years. He managed to frame her for drug possession and things went down hill for her. She ended up in a hospital in her early 40’s where this officer placed her under arrest, handcuffed her to the bed and did not allow anyone to treat her. She passed away within a few days.
Billie Holiday stood her ground and was an activist with her art.

Alicia
Acrylic on canvas
36×48
$3000
Hueiya Alicia Cahuiya Iteca (Mid-40’s)
Alicia is not only an environmental activist, she is a women’s rights activist. She lives in Ecuador, was born in the Ñoneno community in the Yasuní reserve, the granddaughter of a feared Huaorani warrior, called Iteca. At 18 she became a leader, following the footsteps of her grandmother in a traditionally male-dominated community.
On 3 October 2013, the Constituent Assembly in Quito gathered to discuss the Yasuní-ITT plan (for oil exploitation). Cahuiya was invited to participate as Vice-President of the Huaorani Nation of Ecuador, and she was expected to read the script given to her by her President, Chief Moi Enomenga. The speech acceded to oil drilling in her homeland in the headwaters of the Amazon River.
When Cahuiya stood up to talk, she defied her President and the government and made her own speech, first in her native Huaorani language, then in Spanish, denouncing the oil companies and speaking up in defence of her people.
The vote to save the Yasuní from oil drilling was lost that day, but Alicia had captured the hearts of Assembly members and the nation. Her message was front-page news; from that moment Alicia became an inspiration for indigenous women and a respected national political figure, tirelessly campaigning for the rights of her people, of the uncontacted groups of the Amazon and its environment.
I always feel for my portrait subjects, yet, when painting Alicia, I had numerous experiences of shivers and extreme emotion. There is no doubt that Alicia is a powerful force in this world.
There are not many photographs of her available, most are not smiling. I chose this one because of the extreme look of determination. Her expression says: “I didn’t ask for this, yet I am doing it.”

My art is meaningful to me and hopefully the viewer will understand my beliefs through my artistic creations. I care about our planet, its animals and our fellow humans. Through my quirky designs in color pencil, ink, and water color I enjoy creating landscapes depicting our unique Arizona saguaro cacti.As far as my weavings, it’s a challenge to create thought provoking ideas but hope the thread of loving all comes through. All my weaving is done on a flat loom completely by hand and it’s easy to get lost in time while I’m weaving.
Through the years, I have tried many mediums but particularly love color pencil, ink, watercolor, and flat loom weaving. Since I am not formally trained in art, I find my work to be more intuitive and often considered a little (or maybe a lot) quirky. Perhaps it’s even a little kooky and hopefully fun. In a lot of my work I include additional and/or hidden characters like snakes, scorpions, Gila monsters, etc. My happy Saguaro Cacti are frequent subjects for me in my work. Whether they are dancing, shopping, or rafting, I love them all because nature inspires. I also add small areas of color into my weavings to represent nature or individual beliefs. For me, all artists should be able to enjoy designing and creating their art. We should do what we love and makes us happy. I am a very lucky lady to be able to create.

I was born on March 29, 1960. A priest known by my parents made them aware of a baby born to a young girl who could not keep the child. They drove to Navajoa, Mexico, and adopted that baby on April 11, 1960. They stayed in Mexico long enough to get that baby baptized and brought him home to Phoenix. Two years later, on July 23, 1962, that baby became a US citizen. No documents indicate the baby’s immigration status for those two years. That baby boy grew up with a mom and dad who loved him. The painting is called “What if?” I wonder what if I was born now in this time of an anti-immigrant Republican administration.

Marisa paints as she loves: fiercely and tenderly. A pleasure activist born and raised in the Sonoran Desert, she is moved by the intrinsic connection between the joys and pains of our bodies and the land. She expresses that movement using evocative imagery and a color palette that cackles in the face of shame and repression. Her work is to marvel at the beauty and resilience of that which a system of oppression seeks to erase.
Marisa Skelpsa-Muñoz (she/they) is a Phoenix-based painter who has been honing their watercolor and oil painting skills as a Phoenix College student since 2019. She’s a queer, mixed-race Chicana and third-generation Phoenician. Focusing on painting after a decade-long career in reproductive justice, sexual health education, and youth programs has been an effort of deep inner child love, a creating of space for exploration and imperfection beyond the boundaries of respectability. In all areas, Marisa is dedicated to reflecting an ethic of love, existing as free from harmful shame as possible, and staying open to the healing power of community.

People create change. When the pandemic arrived and changed the world, I found my art focus moving from landscapes towards people, human nature and portraits. Perhaps it was missing the human connection and having more time alone to explore influential people, music and art that has inspired me throughout different decades of my life. I have always been drawn to people who are fighters and warriors for human rights and social change through art, music, politics, and literature. My current work can best be described as an Expressionist style, using layers of color, and dynamic brushstrokes to create movement. My goal is to create a painting that evokes an emotional connection to the viewer.

My ceramics are inspired by nature and my surroundings, with a little whimsy thrown in. I focus on shape, form and color. My flower series reflects my love of every aspect of them. They are a multi-sensory experience that includes sight, smell, and touch. I find wonder in the details of each species and dissect down to the smallest details to create abstracts or replicas of my favorites. My whimsical animal series draws upon my desire to have fun while I create adding human attitudes and attributes to the finished pieces. My body of work continues to evolve and grow as I continue my exploration in clay.
Melanie Mead is an award winning ceramic artist located in Phoenix, Arizona. With nature as her primary inspiration, her work specializes in sculpting flowers and other plant life for indoor and outdoor environments. Global warming and climate change are of immediate concern which has entered into her designs. Ceramic bead making has also allowed her to take a turn to create smaller assemblages that can be worn.She earned her BFA from Arizona State University. Her love of ceramics was cultivated there. She has also attended University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kirkwood Community College (Cedar Rapids, IA), Paradise Valley Community College (Phoenix, AZ) and continues her exploration of ceramics and other media with various classes and workshops.

This series of artworks focuses on American gun culture and its effects on the nation. They are mixed media art works on paper with linoleum block printing. I have incorporated a variety of finished forms including shadow boxes with assemblage and patterned fabric, altered maps, and prints on a painted background. I chose symbols reminiscent of news media infographics that are often used to make statistics easily digestible in visual form. I use the repetition of the block printing format to comment on the tragic serial repeated pattern of the subject matter. This series is a protest against the systems that allow and perpetuate violence in the United States. It is a memorial for those who have lost their lives through needless gun violence, especially the children who have died in school shootings, and those still alive who are under constant threat. It is a critique of the views and attitudes that elevate a fetish above public safety. Above all, it is an expression of love and sorrow for a country, my country, that is ill with a curable, but deadly disease.
Michael Farmer is a painter and mixed media artist who draws his inspiration from philosophy, religion, politics, and history. While earning his BFA in Media Arts at the University of Arizona, he taught himself the fundamentals of oil painting. He continued on a self-taught track in painting for 20 years, before going back to school to learn traditional techniques. He has exhibited nationally and locally, including at the Alwun House, FOUND:RE, the Herberger Theater, Modified Arts, and the Phoenix Art Museum.

America The Beautiful Oil
16×20
$450
My work examines the tension between silence and visibility—particularly for Black bodies in American landscapes. America the Beautiful challenges sanitized narratives of history by centering a figure who is tender, silenced, and still holding space for grace. With symbols like cotton, a lamb, and the American flag, this piece quietly resists erasure. I use softness and symbolism as a form of protest, creating art that preserves the complexity of identity while inviting reflection on who gets to be seen, heard, and remembered.
Myja Lark is a multidisciplinary artist based in Arizona whose work explores vulnerability, identity, and cultural memory through richly symbolic portraiture. Her current series reimagines Blackness beyond struggle, presenting softness as strength and reflection as resistance. Myja’s paintings have been featured in exhibitions across Arizona and appeared in two seasons of the Apple TV+ series Shrinking.

To me, being alive means creating art. For as long as I have been thinking about anything, I have been thinking about art. Being an artist also means that you must say something in your work. It is something that I believe to be inherently political. If I am to tell you one thing, O reader, I would tell you to keep making what you love. Only you can make it the way that you do.
I am a nineteen-year old Fine Arts/Art History major attending Scottsdale Community College. I have never lived anywhere but Arizona, but I moved from Prescott to Scottsdale after I graduated high school in 2023. One day, it is my dream to create museum exhibits and restore works of art to their former glories. As of today, however, I am passionate about making my own works of art, exploring deep, rich pockets of artistic history, and participating in this incredible culture around the arts that I have found in the Valley.

I am an activist. I became an activist in 2019, after the birth of my first grandchild. I never wanted my grandchildren to admire such a corrupt President.
I recently attended an event where Mary Trump spoke. Her advise was to Call Them Out, this is the title of this piece.
I made this piece to express my deep frustration with trying to converse with any of my family members and others, who follow the GOP and their policies.
The stake is the deadly influence of Hate, Fear and Bigotry within the Cult setting. The hypnotic blindness, reflected in the eyes. The locks on the ears, blocking even a basic civil conversation. The communist flag symbol,within the GOP, represents the outside influences within the Republican Party.
I truly believe that with equal rights and equal justice, we can end the Great American Experiment and finally move forward to a society, fair and just for all, but first we must, Call Them Out!

Paulette brings a lifetime of advocacy and experience to her creative practice. In her youth she marched for Roe v Wade, spent three decades in corporate America advancing women’s causes, and has long championed fair and free elections. She believes activism is not a choice but a necessity.
In her work, Paulette addresses urgent issues including government overreach, insurrection, and systemic inequities capturing the emotional and societal toll of these forces. Through bold imagery and thoughtful integration of language, her art is a call to action and a reminder that political decisions shape the freedoms, livelihood, and future of all of us.

My work explores the visual inference of our world, using abstractions of photographic images. Each image is a story, but it’s your interpretation that brings it to life. Pay attention to the colors and textures, in addition to the ‘actual’ image, to fully appreciate the narrative.
Patrick O’Brien (Pat) is a fine art photographer. While not formally trained in art or photography, he has studied photography and he has learned a lot by “taking pictures” for over 50 years.Pat is a member of Art Intersection in Gilbert, and the Arizona Photo Alliance. He has exhibited at photography events in Anthem, Cave Creek, Gilbert, and Phoenix Arizona and in Silver City, New Mexico. About ten years ago, Pat moved from shooting on film to digital imagery when high-quality digital equipment became more affordable, so a computer and printer replaced the wet darkroom. Pat found that this allowed him to concentrate his efforts on creating image prints without many of the technical limitations and complications of film. Pat and his wife Andrea Markowitz and their two canine children live in rural Maricopa County.

The last time around, my right wing neighbor viciously harassed me for my political yard signs. I had to take him to court. Longtime friend and lawyer Dianne Post walked me through the rigorus process to obtain an Injunction Against Harrasment (IAH). I won in Mariocpa County Supreme Court. I have continued to post the In This House gardnen flag in front of our home. As a peace, anti-war, social justice and women’s rights advocate, I was moved by this international The Graffitti Wall Tribute.

As a well-traveled, female, Jewish artist, having come of age in the 1960s, hailing from Long Island, New York, and living and working in Phoenix Arizona, I have a vast well of physical, geographical, and cultural diversity influencing my choices of subject, materials and style. My “”mixed bag of art”” consists mostly, but not exclusively, of multiple series of acrylic paintings on gallery wrapped canvas. My images are deeply personal to me, while at the same time universal and relatable. These are my memories, thoughts, dreams, and stories; I hope that by emotionally connecting and responding to it, my work reminds you that we are all bound together in a way that is deeper than those issues that divide us on the surface.

RB Anderson July 4 – subject to change due to the holiday, August 1 These three works of art is one way I’m using to resist the growing hate and authoritarian movement taking over our government.
As a 4th generation artist RB Anderson realized his love of art at an early age, painting beside his mother in Taos and Santa Fe as she followed her art career. He grew up in New Mexico during the creative cultural history of the 60s where his young life was further influenced by art instructor Frank McCulloch who explained that art was about self expression. A few years later, in Colorado, RB received a BS in commercial art, then moved to San Francisco where he studied at the Institute of Art. There he created art for notable musicians such as Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock and John Paul Jones. Eventually he headed to Arizona where his desire to improve his art led to various art festivals coffee house installations and juried shows, selling many works to private collectors.
