An exhibition of works on paper that address the issue of gun violence in America. The artist incorporates repetitive mark making to translate visually what cannot be adequately conveyed through the abstraction of the written language – that nothing has changed in terms of gun violence in the US over the past decade.

After years as a practicing attorney and working in politics, Nehmad chose a new path and earned an MFA specializing in printmaking at the University of Hawai‘i. Her work can be found in many public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, Yale University Art Gallery, the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College, Smith College Museum of Art, Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, the Hammer Museum of UCLA, the Honolulu Museum of Art and the Hawaii State Art Museum.
