Helen Redman
While these pieces were created just as Trump was elected, they are even truer today. This administration has flung us into a cauldron of misogyny and racism that threatens our humanity, Mother Earth, and all her creatures. We are witnessing this as humans but as artists we possess the tools to speak up in a rainbow of colors. Creative resistance is on our collective minds as is the diversity of how we express it.
Helen Barchilon Redman, MFA, is an internationally exhibited figurative painter, mixed-media artist and educator whose work spans decades. Since the early 1960s, Redman has been creating and presenting art from a female perspective that explores body image, personal identity, and life cycle experience. This has included pregnancy, mothering, loss, various stages of her children's growth and gender identity, menopause, and aging.
Redman’s art is included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, San Diego Museum of Art, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, University of Colorado Collections, Women’s Museum of California, Cornell Fine Art Museum, and Bryn Mawr College. Redman, a continuous force for the support and recognition of women artists, co-founded Front Range Women in the Visual Arts in Boulder, Colorado in 1974 and the San Diego Women’s Caucus for the Arts in 1992 and is currently a member of the Feminist Image Group (FIG).
