2. Where the idea came from for this contest?
The inspiration for this contest came on January 31, 2007. As I was preparing for bed, I saw the image of a woman in my bedroom curtain. I held the vision in my mind and when I woke up, I painted the image. The idea came to me to have an “Every Woman Contest,” while I was painting the picture. It was an empowering feeling to paint an image that represents all women.
