Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

When art is truth and that truth is hard to make pretty.

I don't have permission to use imagery from these artists, so please view their
work through the links.
All three of these women are masters of their craft, and all three possess an ability
to sustain their creative vision while focusing on some hard truths.


The Nonhuman Rights Project seemed like it should be included here. 
Just because it is fitting.

I applaud these artists, as they aren't just another pretty face.
