Finding Solace in Art

The recent presidential election cycle was brutal for many of us in the United States, no matter which political position we each held.

Alicia Parrott turned to art to find solace. She was inspired by the concession speech given by Kamala Harris to create this piece (at right).

A print and digital designer as well as an accomplished artist, Parrott is the daughter of Peconic Bay Zonta President Diane Greenberg. Parrott wholeheartedly supports the Zonta mission of building a better place for women and children, readily volunteering her talents and skills on behalf of Peconic Bay Zonta.

At her first art show earlier this year, in New York City during a celebration of Women's History Month, Parrott said, "My work is meant to inspire dialogue about the importance of gender equality and female empowerment."

See her poster for Peconic Bay, which was voted "Best In Show" at a Zonta district meeting in 2023.

Parrott also designed a bookmark that features the tagline "Zonta says NO to violence against women."

In a few days, Zonta chapters around the world will participate in the "16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence" campaign, which runs from November 25 through December 10 every year. Stay tuned!
