Twined Flowers (2020)

Our piece is inspired by the late Emma Amos and her print, ‘Twined Flowers’.  Ms. Amos, who just passed away in May of 2020, was an Atlanta native who, throughout her career as an artist, was often excluded from mainstream art scenes because of either her gender, race, or both.  This collaboration is a celebration of the many facets of who we are. Not being defined by any one aspect of our identity. Embracing our differences, as well as the diversity of all those around us.  For full description click here
