I chose Clare Rojas because her style matched what I had wanted to create for a while. I love her use of shapes and the way she portrays her messages around feminism. Her art is fun and pleasing to look at but challenges important issues.
Clare Rojas was born in 1976 in Ohio. She works with media including printing, painting, installations, video, and children's books. She has recently moved from more figural shapes to pure geometric abstraction. Rojas also performs under the name Peggy Honeywell, and plays guitar and banjo. Her art can be described as “powerful folk-art-inspired tableaus that tackle traditional gender roles.” She explores such topics without sexual exploitation or overt eroticism making her work different from many other gender oriented art.
