Artist Q&A - Alena Carvalho
I grew up in Prague, so I was surrounded by beautiful architecture whichever way I looked. But what I love about painting cityscapes is not just the buildings – which provide a backdrop for all the other changeable elements - but also the people, buses, trams, bikes, which really bring the scene to life.
Mothering Sunday and Women's History Month
Since 1987 March has been a month dedicated to celebrating the (often overlooked) contributions of women to history, society, and culture. Its beginning can be traced as far back as 1909 to the first Women’s History Day in New York, when it commemorated the anniversary of the thousands of women who marched in the garment workers’ strikes against low pay, long work hours, and the lack of voting rights.
