Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Dr. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin is a really remarkable reminder to continue to advocate for my rights as a woman, to not be ashamed or embarrassed of my own intelligence, and to help others be confident in their strengths as well. She is a role model for grit in the face of adversity."
