I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her passing is a real blow to justice in America. She was a trailblazing justice who fought for the rights of ALL PEOPLE! Her integrity in making decisions, applying rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment showed in everything hat she did.
I created this portrait in her memory.
"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored." President Barack Obama on the Passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
A little known fact about the Notorious RBG is that her childhood nickname was “Kiki” due to that fact that she was “a kicky baby.” When it came to facing down injustice, Ginsburg was kicky, scrappy and, above all, courageous throughout her life. I loved finding this out.
