Everyone celebrates phenomenal and influential women in his/her own way. Artist David Trumble celebrates it with art.
First featured on the Huffington Post Parents blog, Trumble’s work shared his reasons for the work with Women You Should Know:
?Fiction is the lens through which young children first perceive role models, so we have a responsibility to provide them with a diverse and eclectic selection of female archetypes.?Now, I’m not even saying that girls?shouldn’t?have princesses in their lives, the archetype in and of itself is not innately wrong, but there should be more options to choose from. So that was my intent, to demonstrate how ridiculous it?is to paint an entire gender of heroes with one superficial brush.”
It was also an effort to “provide girls with an alternative kind of princess.” You can read more of the interview at?Women You Should Know.
If you love these princesses, you can buy prints on his website. I soooooooo want that Ruth Bader Ginnsberg mug! You can also follow David Trumble on Facebook.
