My “Equal Rights, Flower of Democracy” print has widely traveled since I created it in 2021. First, it raised funds for the fight for the ERA in exhibits with Artists 4 ERA nationwide culminating in a show at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture. Then, it took to the road on a voter drive in the Southern USA during midterms in 2022. Finally, it appeared at The Capitol in Washington, D.C. as a gift from US Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger to US Congresswoman Ayana Pressley, lead sponsor for the ERA in Congress.

Recently, I was deeply honored to have been invited to include my work in “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights”, an impactful traveling poster exhibition curated and organized by Elizabeth Resnick, Professor Emerita of Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston.

The exhibition opens soon in Pennsylvania:

The Gallery at Penn College
Pennsylvania College of Technology, Williamsport, PA
March 17–April 17, 2026

Curator’s Statement: Women’s Rights Are Human Rights is a very fitting title for an exhibition of Women’s rights and advocacy posters, as it is a term used in the women’s rights movement and was the title of an important speech given by Hillary Rodham Clinton at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. In her speech, Hillary Clinton suggests that “If the term women’s rights were to be interchangeable with the term human rights the world community would be a better place because human rights affect the women who raise the world’s children, care for the elderly, run companies, work in hospitals, fight for better education and better health care.” 

Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Women lack access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage disparities. Women are often denied access to basic education and health care, suffer from violence and discrimination, and are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes.

This exhibition features posters created by both men and women to celebrate and acknowledge the vital role that all citizens should play in protecting and promoting human rights while actively challenging gender inequality and stereotypes, advancing sexual and reproductive rights, and protecting women and girls against brutality. In their collective visual voice, these posters promote women’s empowerment and participation in society while challenging religious and cultural norms and patriarchal attitudes that subordinate, stigmatize or restrict women from achieving their fullest potential.
