Every day but not always because life gets in the way. I search for an artist, mostly female as the men still out way the women. The reason for this, is one I learn and get to know another female artist and two so do you.
Today I have picked
Ghada Amer is an Egyptian painter, sculptor, and installation artist. whose work addresses the issues of femininity, sexuality and gender roles.
Ghada Amer was born in Cairo, Egypt in the early 60s. While she was still a teenager, in the mid-70s, her parents, traditional Muslim Egyptians, decided to relocate to France. Young Ghada began her artistic training ten years later in Nice, France. As a student in the BFA and MFA programs of Villa Arson, Amer was excluded from painting classes, because they were reserved for male students only. However, she didn't give up, as she was a provocative and innovative young woman
Amer’s work is strongly feminist because it subverts the masculine genre of painting. he narratives she tells in her paintings, drawings and sculptures are universal stories of longing, seen through the sensitive (and sensual) female heart. Her career spans more than two decays and successfully addresses the subject of women and stereotypes associated with female roles within the American-Muslim identity, such as the submission of women to the domestic life, the celebration of female pleasure, and the puzzling nature of passion, war, and violence.

I find Amer is a gutsy and intelligent woman who's art speaks loudly to the world . Have a read there is more to this article than what is on my blog.
This is the reason I always leave a web address so you can read more of the article than I have written.
