In honor of Women’s History month, Rob Schwager wanted to create an art print of an American icon symbolizing strong women. One who epitomizes the hard-working, patriotic women from the greatest generation.
Rob has been wanting to do this print for a long time. He's been slowly working on the drawing for this print and for a sister print, for about two years. Rosie and the dedicated women like her and the contribution they made to the war effort have always held a special place in his heart. They helped build the bombers, which as a child, he became obsessed with. Now that he's grown, their sacrifices have strongly influenced his artwork. As seen in his B-17 nose art bomber panel series. Rob couldn't think of a more perfect icon that symbolizes the true American spirit, which his daughter can look up to and he can have proudly hanging in his own home.
A tribute, to Rosie the riveter.
