We were thrilled to have the subject of the painting "Nurse Tracey" visit her likeness at the Museum! 🤩
The portrait by @TimOkamuraArt portrays Tracey-Ann Knight, DNP, RN in an iconic Rosie the Riveter pose. See the work on view in Dreaming Together: https://t.co/UVKdMa0iGC
I’m still struck by this: The Bidens, Obamas, Clintons and Bushes will appear together on the West Front of the Capitol. (The Carters aren’t able to travel.) Trump’s absence renders him erased from an iconic and historic tableau ... and seems to fit the moment. Turning the page.
Soak in the following phrase: "Black officer who held off a violent mob at the Capitol, escorting the first Black/South Asian/female Vice President to be sworn in by the first Latina SCOTUS justice"
@margbarn71@TimOkamuraArt explained in the interview that she was a traveling nurse who came to New York on contract. He was touched by her story when he saw her on TV and painted her portrait based on a screenshot he took. Now he'd like to find her and give it to her.
Do you recognize this nurse? Last year, @TimOkamuraArt created a series of paintings called Healthcare Heroes and now he needs your help. If you know the identity of the nurse in this painting, DM Tim!
New York-based Canadian artist @TimOkamuraArt joined guest host @TaliaSchlanger this morning to discuss his painting series Healthcare Heroes and how his art is making a difference to those on the frontlines. 🔊 https://t.co/Mucwe2VJKX
JUST IN: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also says the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove President Trump from office — and if it isn't, "Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment.”
