Being A Kind Human

This week has brought new hope for many. From small gestures to epic events all actions count.  A special acknowledgement goes to Karen Sherman for her creative contributions. Tried to capture another moment, with my paintings, feeding the birds with her at Goose Island.

Being A Kind Human 8x10

I wanted to share her political art collages that have been accepted by the La Crosse Historical Society for their collections.

From Karen Sherman:

“This is What Democracry Looks Like”

This photo collage is a collection of the Wisconsin 2011 grassroots resistance during Governor Walker's attack on workers's rights and the Republican agenda. The signs and people depicted are representative of the thousands who know politics matter. The attached mirrors reflect the viewer because we are all part of “What Democracy Looks Like.”

Artist's bio : Karen Sherman

Raised in Little Rock, Arkansas in the shadow of Jim Crow and integration as a southern Jew by a New Yorker and a holocaust survivor, I was taught as a child that politics matter and one can't be a bystander.

Photography has always been a hobby since my first Brownie camera and Polaroids with black and white film to colored film and my numerous Canon cameras. I was always finding those 'Kodak' moments to document, share and preserve

 

I hope the momentum continues forward-Colleen
