These portraits depict women in South Central Kentucky who work to make it a better place, especially for women and girls. The large-scale portraits monumentalize women whose work in the community is often invisible. Small works are studies for larger pieces. These women use their knowledge and power to make a difference in our community. They advocate for various causes including access to public services, healthy foods, and education.
