Exhibition Statement: Women artists face challenges that can inhibit their creative work: raising children, beginning new careers, moving to a foreign country, facing a life-threatening illness, caring for aging parents, and changing careers in mid-life.
Nevertheless, She Persisted.
Despite the unique challenges of womanhood, or because of these challenges, womxn continue to create…to heal, to express emotions not easily put into words, because of spiritual or financial necessity, to connect to a larger community, to find joy, to tell stories, to give back to those who have supported them, to overcome limitations, to show the next big idea, to find one’s way regardless of the lack of permission or acceptance.
Nevertheless, She Persisted.
Persistence is our theme. Persistence is our credo. Persistence is our call.

Exhibition Location: Obelisk Gallery’s Lower Level Gallery located in Obelisk Home, 214 W. Phelps St., Suite #101, Springfield, MO 65806
