Description

Lauren Sivan is a veteran TV reporter who was among the first women to detail the unchecked, inappropriate behavior of Harvey Weinstein. She was also among the first to receive backlash for doing so –disclosing her own encounter to her employers at station KTTV, who responded by taking her off schedule, forcing her to leave her job of seven years to transition to radio, eventually hosting a show with Dr. Drew Pinsky on KABC.

Headdresses and crowns deify Kate Kelton’s subjects. She uplifts the Unsung Sheroes & Heroes, Patriarchy Smashers, Warrior Survivors, Silence Breakers, Philosophers, Truth-Tellers, Whistle Blowers and Thought Giants. She paints portraits cloaked in the garb of statues Ladislav Šaloun sculpted onto the train station that her great-grandfather, Josef Fanta, designed for Prague in 1901 – 1909.
Apotheosis through a reclaimed, reapplied Art Nouveau.
