Kate Kretz

She has created drawings in various media (including silverpoint), paintings, embroideries done with human hair,[1] and a series of Psychological Clothing.

Kretz' painting, "Blessed Art Thou", executed in 2006, depicted actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary, hovering in the clouds with her children above a Wal-Mart store.

[2] This painting was exhibited at the Miami Art Fair in January 2007 and created a controversy that was covered by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Fox television networks, as well as The International Herald Tribune and The New York Times.

Her Psychological Clothing series includes a Defense Mechanism Coat with 150 lb (68 kg) of roofing nails pushed through the surface, and a Vagina Dentata Purse.

Her MAGA Hat series featured the iconic red caps that she ripped apart and refashioned into "physical manifestations of the truth."
