I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…
The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…

🇨🇳 36 years ago today, on 4 June 1989, Chinese troops opened fire on thousands of courageous students and workers who had been peacefully protesting for political reforms in and around Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

This painting is a little watercolour study of the lawyers of Alexei Navalny, imprisoned simply for doing their job. Legal defense should never be a crime. Democracy cannot survive without those willing to stand for it, even at great personal cost.

Another painting from before, using gold leaf and acrylic. This one is also about hope and strength in Ukraine. It’s going to be a tough year.

Introducing 'Phoenix Rising: The Soldier of Light'. I painted it when Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in protest against the Israel campaign in Gaza.
The original artwork is still available.

Painting Vladimir Shklyarov who fell off a balcony in Russia. Reportedly a critic of Putin. I liked this pose as it was strong and final. #warinukraine #vladimirshklyarov #balcony #russia #ballet
Art can be a form of activism
