I’ve had the honor and pleasure of working with the amazing Anna Kaye of Denver Colorado for a few years in a variety of creative exhibitions. As life has truly began to make sense of the work I do, the work I have yet to do (Self Reflection) and the Panoramic’s (Pandemic) many left turns in progress to ascension …I must take this pause to properly shout out the many others as my being is intended to do so that have truly inspired and supported my recent journey. Thanks Anna Kaye!

“ The artist collective PINKPROGRESSION rose out of the 2017 historic womxn and sister's marches. PINKPROGRESSION commemorates, celebrates, and builds on the solidarity established during these marches, addressing a variety of concepts, such as human rights, gender identity, and equality.

This catalog features PINKPROGRESSION: COLLABORATIONS at the Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities, one of the top ten most-attended cultural organizations in Metro Denver. This exhibit incorporates a fusion of narratives through collaborative artwork. These multidimensional works emphasize the collective issues that confront us and the transformational ways of finding common ground. One hundred years ago, the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women’s right to vote, was ratified. This historic centennial offers us the opportunity to commemorate a milestone, recognize the consecutive dates in which all women attained the right to vote in America, and explore the complex struggle for universal suffrage today. Over 150 artists, writers, dancers, and musicians utilize the power of networks to inspire social change.

This catalog includes essays from author and professor of women and gender studies Lorraine Bayard De Volo and art + architecture writer Mary Voelz Chandler, and is designed by artist, designer, and professor Kelly Monico. This publication features over 100 pages of incredible artwork including our community button installation as well as our poetry book, "Refuse to Stay Silent."“

Tya Alisa Anthony

Tya Alisa Anthony is an American artist, photographer, writer, and independent curator whose work explores memory, mythology, ancestry, and the quiet ways people leave themselves behind in the objects they touch. For more than twenty years, her practice has existed at the intersection of visual research, education, and cultural storytelling, investigating resilience through the body, the landscape, historical archives, and the natural world.

Working across photography, collage, cyanotype, botanical collections, handmade books, and mixed media, Anthony approaches each body of work as an evolving archive rather than a finished statement. She is drawn to weathered photographs, heirlooms, medicinal plants, folklore, ritual objects, forgotten architecture, and the symbolic language that connects cultures across time. Her work asks how identity is preserved, transformed, and remembered.

Alongside her studio practice, Anthony has spent more than two decades building educational programs, exhibitions, and community-centered initiatives that expand access to the arts. Her leadership has helped shape institutions, mentor emerging artists, develop sustainable systems, and create spaces where creativity becomes a lifelong practice rather than a privilege.

Anthony’s artwork is included in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver’s Octopus Collection. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is held in numerous private collections.

She is currently creating Organic Tarot, a 78-card hand-collaged tarot deck and accompanying memoir that intertwines mythology, autobiography, botanical symbolism, and the archetypal journey of transformation. The project reflects the central thread running throughout her career: that art is not simply something we make—it is a way of understanding ourselves, preserving what matters, and leaving a map for those who come after us.
