Marin TV is pleased to showcase “Women of Color and Accomplishment” paintings from artist Carol Jacobsen at the Georgia Anwell Gallery at the Community Media Center of Marin.

Check below for more info and here is her statement for the community members:

"The body of work included in this show is my creative response to the murder of George Floyd. Watching the horrific video of his murder and the subsequent attacks on protesters by white supremacists motivated me to find a way to fight racism. Like other social justice painters, I decided to use my skills to help people look beyond the color of one’s skin and instead judge them by their character.
