Learn about the artist - make your own art
“An international career, lost artworks, and an artist who defied race and gender stereotypes all before the year 1900?! That’s right, it’s Edmonia Lewis.” — Snippet from the “Long Story Short, Edmonia Lewis” and Edmonia Lewis coloring sheet.
made about women artists, by women artists
Our coloring sheets are a product of the wholistic view we believe is necessary to support women in art. We want to highlight women artists past and support women artists present, as such, all of our coloring sheets are made by contracted women artists hired by WAW.

Researched by women art historians
All of our research for “brief histories” and Women’s Art Wednesday posts are done by female art historians at a bachelor’s degree level or higher in art history. So you know the information you’re getting is credible (and cited!) We do our best to compile the best information on an artist, and use our backgrounds in art history to contextualize the importance of the work. We know that learning is always more interesting when its fun, so we strive to make our brief histories as engaging as they are informative, so you just might have a few laughs along the way. Most of these artists and topics we could talk about all day, but we really do strive to keep things brief. If you want to learn more about an artist or their work, though, we’ll always add some links to good, reliable resources for further reading.
