I'm super excited to announce my photo 'Le Pionnier d'Origine' has been given the honor to grace the walls of the @praxis_gallery along side work from artists world wide as part of the International Juried Photography Exhibition: FEMALIA, A Women's History Month Exhibition!

"We are programmed to understand gender and femininity within narrow and restrictive definitions. Photographs, both historical and contemporary, often reinforce these definitions and boundaries that no longer serve us. Photography has the power to transcend all manner of boundaries. It can blur minuscule lines between otherwise dichotomous realms of physical and philosophical space. If we are to reflect on photography’s capacity to challenge concepts of gender and femininity, we enter into an extraordinary opportunity to re-envision and expand our understanding of all who identify as women. We can confront our programmed understandings and reinterpret, both what is in front of the camera and what is behind it."

Praxis Gallery presents photographic art created by or about women image-makers, including trans-women, femme/feminine-identifying, genderqueer, and non-binary lens-based photographic artists.

As the title conveys, the original pioneer for breaking down barriers and stereotypes for me is my Nana, pictured here doing yard work while waiting for her hair to curl.
