Ms. Bernard's Artwork Tapped For “Suffra-Jetting" Exhibition

Congratulations to DGN Fine Arts faculty member, Ms. Amy Bernard, for having her art work selected for the upcoming Suffra-Jetting Exhibition, sponsored by Woman Made Gallery (WMG).

This exhibition, inspired by Candace Hunter and juried by Malika Jackson, will include 300 works by female-identified artists. Malika Jackson chose 43 pieces by 39 local and international artists, representing both US and global perspectives.

Works in the exhibition are emotional and deeply personal, sharing the female experience that address a myriad of topics, including motherhood, inequality, racism, violence, spirituality, and so much more. Life experiences are translated into art in the form of paintings, drawings, print-making, photography, mixed media works, sculptures, book-art and video works.

Ms. Bernard describes her work: “This tea set is for my grandmothers, created in their memory, and for every other woman who dreamed of a career and life beyond making a nice life for others. The women who had to polish silver, wash their china, and wax their linoleum floors, instead of living the life they desired. Because of women like them, women like me can live their whole truth and manifest the lives we covet, with no regrets. My grandmothers’ sacrifices help me understand how important it is to live my life fully and authentically, with a purpose.”
