Description

Lysette Antony is a British actress who may have been among Harvey Weinstein’s earliest victims, and one of the few who were assaulted more than once. She came forward with her claims in 2017. Weinstein has over 80 accusers and has already been convicted and sentenced to 23 years in prison with still more trials scheduled.

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.
