perSISTERS Prints designs

Here are our heroes. Here are our stories. Most of the perSISTERS Series posters and prints are available on the Female Power Project Etsy site, if they are not already there you can contact me to set up payment and shipping.

Although some of these prints incorporate quotes by these heroes, the main message is usually something the artist found in the stories and crafted herself. The point is to find the message or power demonstrated by the subject, and express it positively in as few active words as possible, while augmenting with visual elements.
