A building mural with a red section on the left and a black section on the right. On the red side,

Rise Above Rebel features a woman looking up and it says Rise Above to the left of her. Women are generally not the purveyors of violence in the world and our society, so I enjoy making portraits of female figures as symbols of peaceful resistance. The idea of rising above oppression rather than having your soul crushed by the bad things that happen in the world, figuring out a way to power through it and be positive is not always easy. -Shepard
