I have been cutting up magazines since I was small. Everything I do must always be perfect&#8230;until now. Nothing is perfect and no expectations of such warrant belief. No expectations of such allow for the true beauty, diversity and complexity of humanity. I use magazine images, tape, my iPhone apps and Photoshop to complete my images. Life beyond perfection is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am a self-educated, personal experience-driven artist. I do not have a career as a professional artist. I have no awards or major art accomplishments. I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin. and I have a degree in Criminal Justice. My obedience to Calvinistic Christianity, my subsequent submission to and escape from an abusive husband caused me to endure a 9-month clinical depression 9 years ago. I am finally able to express my experiences and my new beliefs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"mailto:erancahas@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click to email<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2682\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/esther-ancahas-sit-down-and-shut-up.jpg\" alt=\"esther-ancahas-sit-down-and-shut-up\" width=\"560\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/esther-ancahas-sit-down-and-shut-up.jpg 560w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/esther-ancahas-sit-down-and-shut-up-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/esther-ancahas-sit-down-and-shut-up-210x262.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Sit Down and Shut Up<\/em><br \/>\n1500 pixels x 1200 pixels;\u00a0bridal magazine, scissors, tape, iPhone camera, Mextures, Photoshop;
