Description

Mhairi Morrison is a Scottish-born, Los Angeles-based visual artist and actor who produced the Don’t Silence Me video in support of the #MeToo movement after recounting being drugged and assaulted by an unnamed French film director when she was 24.

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.
