Thank you to the artists who donated their time and resources to this project.  You may read about each of them below:
 
Margaret (Peg) Williams, a native Nashvillian and art instructor for 37 years, teaches middle school drawing and painting and high school art history at University School of Nashville. As a teacher, she delights in devising artistic projects and watching her students come up with a wide variety of solutions.
In addition to her participation in Bold Faces of Truth, Peg has volunteered for the past four years at the YWCA’s Weaver Domestic Violence Shelter. She brings along her English setter, Mosey, who is a trained pet-partner. Together, they work as part of the healing process for children who are residents at the shelter.

Stacey Pierce-Nickle, a Nashvilian for over 20 years, returned to her true love of painting after a multi-faceted career that included marketing, graphic design and owning her own East Nashville gallery, The King’s Witt. Her years in graphic design have given her a unique painting perspective and technique. Her belief that we are all intertwined in life not only by nature, but by our own experiences gave her the idea to see if we could look past what is in front of our eyes and peel back each layer to see what lies beneath.
Stacey’s branching out into three-dimensional textile art therapy was born out of a very personal need to connect to the survivors of abuse, not only to assist in identifying the detrimental effects, but also to give hope and acknowledge the incredible power these women have.
Her art is in galleries throughout the South and Southwest. She recently won a national juried show in Austin, TX, for her piece "Birdczar."

Using fabric, needle-and-thread and "pieces of the past," Kathleen Madigan's mixed media works examine inner landscapes, often focusing on a woman's work, a woman's "place" and the value society places on women themselves, their inner lives, dreams and journeys.
Her work has exhibited in Spain, Senegal, Chicago and Washington, D.C., among other places. Selected works appeared in Art From Found Objects at the Monmouth Museum, and several are included in the Feminist Art Base at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Her solo exhibition, titled Tales From Inside, is currently showing at the University of North Carolina and features works highlighting domestic issues. She hopes to see it in several more universities over the next year to promote awareness of domestic violence.
