Vix Harris is a British-born artist who specializes in creating empowering feminist imagery that uniquely blends photography of inspirational women throughout modern history with 60s style art designs. Currently living in Singapore, her art is greatly influenced by her upbringing in Kenya and Malawi. Aside from being a talented artist, Harris has spent much of her adult life making a difference in the lives of Africans in village communities through her non-profit called Project SEED Tanzania. One of her greatest influences is Frida Kahlo, as demonstrated by the fact that several of her artworks feature the late Mexican artist who inspires feminists today. In 2017 she completed a year-long “50 Rebel Women” project that brought her wide recognition. Let’s take a look at some of her art, shall we?
1. Carrie Fisher
“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
While everybody knows Carrie Fisher for her iconic role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, the late actress was also a prolific author and screenwriter.
2. Michelle Obama
“There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.”
Since leaving the Oval Office in 2017, the former First Lady has kept herself busy by appearing at various conferences that focus on such things as proper nutrition for children and empowering young girls.
3. Shirley Manson
“I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters – I’m from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!”
The lead singer of the Scottish-American alternative rock band Garbage, Shirley Manson has inspired many of today’s biggest female pop stars including Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
4. Audrey Hepburn
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”
One of the most glamorous actresses during Hollywood’s Golden Age, Audrey Hepburn continues to inspire even a quarter of a century after her passing.
