Description

Melissa Schuman was only 12 years old when she earned a place in Diddy-produced girl band, Dream. In 2018 she posted allegations that former Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter assaulted her when the two were working together on the set of teen horror flick The Hollow in 2002. While statues of limitation prevented the case from moving forward it is worth noting that that Carter has been arrested, charged and found guilty of multiple incidents of physical assault.

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.
