Thank you, Debra Canale for donating such a wonderful piece to our permanent collection! The piece is titled “Vote”, and can be seen upstairs at the Museum of Friends.
"As an artist I wanted to create a painting to honor the centennial of Women’s Right to Vote. I searched through many historical photos and videos that showed what the suffragettes endured to obtain the right to vote. The suffragette movement was more than the right to vote – it was a fight for women’s rights for equality. The path to women’s rights started with the right to vote.
I chose a picture I felt honored these women and depicted what the movement stood for."
