The fourth piece for the Women Artists of the DMV show

Kate Kretz is fearless.

How do I know that? I don't know it based on actual evidence, but once you explore this talented artist's ventures into so many diverse art planets in the universe of the fine arts, it is easy to arrive at that conclusion.

For all I know she may be terrified by red ants, or spiders, or whatever, but she is not afraid to put her brush, or sewing needle, or whatever art weapon is at hand to deliver some of the most extraordinary political and social commentaries being created today by a fine artist anywhere in the world.

Not just the DMV, but the world.
