This exhibition featured Moriah Hummer, a local artist inspired by female empowerment. As the title “From Comics to Canvas” alludes, Moriah is the author of the comic “Flat Track Furies”, a comic about a monster/crime fighting roller derby team. In a world dominated by male superheroes Moriah is striving to create a comic and a form of art that empowers women. Since the creation of Flat Track Furies Moriah has begun creating portait style sketches of women from all different backgrounds. Using a combination of digital painting and a comic style Moriah creates strong women, she combines the fun and light-hearted nature of comics with fine art and feminism to tell the story of the woman she creates.
