Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an original gouache Pop Art portrait by artist Brett Hodges of Quiet Corner Art Studio in Omaha, Nebraska.

I have always admired strong women who become role models for young girls, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg remains one of the clearest examples of that kind of strength. From humble beginnings to becoming one of the most recognizable voices for women in American history, her life carried a sense of determination that I wanted to capture in this portrait.

This painting was created with bold black and white line work, a limited red accent palette, and a decorative background that reinforces the structure and strength of the composition. Painted with Winsor & Newton gouache on archival cotton paper and finished with Dorland’s Wax, this piece reflects my interest in contemporary portrait art, minimalist Pop Art, fine art portraiture, women in history, and the lasting influence of cultural icons who helped shape the American story.
