Kamala Harris — First Black, Asian, and Woman and Vice President of The United States of America

Kamala Divi Harris is the first in many categories: Black woman to be elected district attorney in California history, woman to be California's attorney general, Indian American senator, and Black woman and Asian American vice president of the United States of American. Her motto is "You may be the first, but make sure you're not the last."

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

When Kamala Harris was inaugurated as vice president, she was the first woman to hold this position. Similarly, her husband, Doug Emhoff, was the first man to be married to the VP. What was he to be called? Vice Presidents' wives are referred to as the second lady. Thus Emhoff took the tile of second gentleman. This one-of-a-kind assemblage is a portrait of Emhoff. In keeping with the other "political first" portraits, I made this out of non-recyclable trash and other repurposed materials. It is on canvas and coated with PVA. I completed it in 2022.
