Artsit JHWinter is a lover, not a fighter! Her latest designs come from a statement she is making about embracing people for their uniqueness, for their humanity and their right to be accepted in a sometimes harsh world.
Would you support your fellow human's in such a way. Of course you would. It is the fear of being shunned that leaves many people hiding away in plain sight. JHWinter has heard many stories of sons being afraid of a seemingly homophobic males in their family, only to be embraced and supported by that very same person when they have the courage to come out in the open about who they love.
If it is your family going through these changes you might be the last to know, while mothers and sisters have always known! Once spoken IT, the ISSUE, THE UNVAILING, cannot be undone.
The Pride Family is a painting celebrating the arrival of a time when the newness of the changed concept of life together is a celebration of all supporting each other. We see a Pride Festival setting with many families in attendance who may be going through similar changes, feeling difficulty in navigating this new feeling. All supporting their loved ones.
We see also the reminder of the life cycle of a butterfly. A woman viewing Artist JHWinter's paintings, in her first solo show with the Pride Identity Collection, said softly, 'We are all butterflies'. This made an impact on the artist. The caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly additions made the art complete.
