This is so fantastic!! The Vance Waddell Collection has some amazing works of art by women-identifying artists including an oil painting of mine. I don't know yet if my artwork is one of the pieces included in this gift to the Dayton Art Institute but I certainly hope so! #womenartists #queerpainter
