Teresa Derdiarian, Artist

Just as the Betties are distinct and different, so are the roses in Teresa's collection. Read more about Teresa Derdiarian here.

Cara Goldstein, Artist

All Cara's series, originally for the SF Examiner, explores architecture as part of self-exploration, similar to the self-exploration the Betties encounter in Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties. She dedicates her time to teaching young artists, helping them recognize the potential within themselves. Read more about Cara Goldstein here.

Angrette McCloskey, Artist

Angrette is a set designer and sculptor who crafted a walk-through labia as a portal to Collective Rage (with set design by Angrette), a place where the word and body parts we have been taught to shame are embraced. Read more about Angrette McCloskey here.

Razelle, Artist Razelle is a life-long artist who makes work that boldly fuses mediums to generate impact. She is also a trans woman. Her current artistic exploration is in creatively and courageously documenting her transition to help humanize the transgender experience in the context of a world that seems to prefer she didn't exist. "Enough Echoes" is a haunting, cacophonous layering of the artist’s own voice as she reads and rereads a passage from the book Colors by Andrew Berardini, in attempt to feminize her voice. In doing so, she is left confronting the question, "What Woman is Enough?"  Read more about Razelle here.

 

Suzanna Scott, Artist Suzanna Scott embraces repetition as a tool in her work, similar to how Jen Silverman gives all the characters in her play the same name. Using coin purses sewn differently to highlight the intersection of existence between our bodies and society, Scott explores the landscape around gender, sexuality, equality, and bodily autonomy. She has graciously decided to split proceeds of any art sales from this event with Shotgun Players. Read more about Suzanna Scott here.
