She Makes an Impression: Colorado Women Take A Look At Themselves: Self Portrait Exhibition

D'art Gallery

900 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204

Exhibition Dates: 12/18/25 - 1/11/26

Artists Reception 12/18/25 6 - 9 pm

I am delighted to be exhibiting my 24" x 18 oil painting, "Difficult Woman's Rage"

This is my self portrait of when I worked as a Manager and I stood up for myself, (like the men did).

I was called a "Difficult Woman". I wear that distinction as a Badge of Courage at time when women were supposed to be quiet, respectful and support their male colleagues. But then, I broke a few "glass ceilings" along my professional path.

Here are other events at D'art Gallery in connection with the exhibition:

Contemplative Art Classes & Workshops

2023 Contemplative Art Workshops

If you have always wanted to draw in your own style in a supportive atmosphere or wanted to draw from a meditative point-of-view, these are the workshops for you.

As you begin to draw, you will quickly discover your inner intuitive process to create a personal expression you had no idea you could complete when you began to draw.

For participants with no art-making experience, you will have the opportunity to discover your creativity in a safe, supportive environment.

For experienced artists, you will find the workshops helpful to expand your creative experience to include a meditative approach to your personal expression.

Saturday Art Workshops

for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Artists

Color Theory for Artists

At each session, you will receive handouts about the history, meaning and associations with the six complimentary colors, and, white, black & gray. By the end of the workshop series, you will understand the subtleties of color through the experience of discovering your personal pallet. No art experience is necessary.

Saturday Art Workshop

Each month we will look at different ways to express yourself through composition, color theory and other topics to enhance your personal expression

Evolution of Abstraction

Each month we will look at one artist or a group of artists in detail to discover how their style contributed to what we know as "abstraction". We will analyze their style, choice of colors and themes. We will take inspiration from their perspectives and creativity to inspire our own personal expression. No art experience is necessary.

Workshops are scheduled from 10 am to 4 pm
