Satirical - Kristin Helberg: vinegar grained boxes, naive art, murals

This section contains paintings that deal with events or people that have interested me. When I realized that my 20 year old nieces knew nothing about the Birmingham Church bombing in 1963, I knew that I had to paint I’ll Fly Away. The portrait of J.Edgar Hoover showing his rumored private life, was payback for Hoover’s cruelty towards Martin Luther King and Melvin Purvis. I wanted to pay tribute to both Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson in To Rise Above. And I had to get Sigmund Freud to lighten up a bit.
