<b><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">O’er the Western Hills</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> was conceived by the artist in collaboration with her subjects, including students, temp workers,
teachers and retirees, who are actively engaged in work from a range of specialized STEM fields including fire safety, water quality, wetland conservation, site remediation, regenerative permaculture, ethics and justice, accessibility and outreach, and astrophysics.
Despite their many professional accomplishments, the lived experiences of these members of the science community remains largely dominated by masculinity, whiteness, hetero-cis-normativity, and other forms of privilege. Rather than acting as a recruitment
for Women in STEM, the thirteen paintings in the exhibition are intended as a collection of portraits of female and non-binary workers sharing their experiences.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
