They subsequently put out this great story on their website.

This is my dear friend Erica Kuhl. The oil painting "In Bello" is beyond a work of genius. She makes hundreds of sketches and does hundreds of hours of research before putting a painting like this together. There's symbolism in every detail from everything from pop culture to art history. The painting is even laid out using the golden ratio.

If you want to register and vote for her painting, it can help with exposure.

We went to support her at her site yesterday and it was great to see the fellow artists at that location supporting her too, one was wearing a "Trans Power" T Shirt. Took her out to lunch and ice cream afterwards.
