| Our Lady of Conspicuous Consumption |
This was artist Mary Fleener's comment on FaceBook linking the
UT San Deigo article on the Women's Museum of California exhibition.
There’s yet another reason to check out NTC at Liberty Station:
The Women’s Museum of California is comfortably ensconced in Barracks 16, and its inaugural show, “Capturing the Wonder of Women,” is now up through Feb. 24.
The juried exhibition — curated by UC San Diego’s Huai Li with the three winners chosen by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Robert Pincus — was open to men and women, but it’s the women who make the strongest impression among the 46 artists admitted (out of approximately 150 artists who submitted work).

Mary Fleener: Her “Our Lady of Conspicuous Consumption” is among of the show’s delights. It seconds the theme raised by Puffer in an inviting, whimsical manner, perhaps understandable given that she spends much of her time doing comic-book art, CD covers and illustrations.
Fleener lives in Encinitas and plays in the band the Wigbillies.
You'll have to visit the museum to see this piece properly as the online version is cropped oddly. And BTW her political cartoons tagged "According to Mary" are proudly posted each week here at EYNU.
