This image was originally a tintype which I scanned and manipulated digitally in photoshop. The image attracted me because the women all look so strong and determined. I originally dedicated this image to the woman's suffrage movement which took 70 years to pass.I have put 19 hearts on the image border which represent the 19th amendment. The colors gold, purple, white were important colors for the movement. As were the sunflower and yellow rose. The women are all wearing vintage suffrage buttons that I downloaded and attached to the women's garments. I realized that this might be a perfect image to help elect our first woman president, Hillary Clinton.

I grew up in New York, and though I now live in Jersey City I consider myself a New Yorker. I received my BFA in photography from Kansas City Art Institute. My work explores male/female relationships in a phallocentric society. I appropriate & digitally alter 19th century tintypes, predominantly of women. I name each woman using names common during the 19th century; thus giving each a personal identity. The 19th century brings together several forces. Studies of biological determination created the belief that men were the superior sex. The roles of men and women were strictly separated. Women belonged at home as wife and mother. This was also advent of the tintype. Now all classes, not just the rich could have their images recorded. Finally this was also the beginning of the women's suffrage movement. Women were increasingly becoming discontent with their restricted lives. It was time to fight for their rights. I use each tintype as my starting point to create a new narrative that incorporates history, personal experience and current social issues of today.
