Jamie Fingal: Art with a Purpose – Supporting Kamala 24
By Voices in Fabric & Politics
In October 2024, acclaimed quilt and mixed media artist Jamie Fingal announced her participation in the "Artist for Kamala 24" initiative — a nationwide campaign rallying visual artists in support of Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential run. Through her blog post "Twisted Sister: Artist for Kamala 24", Fingal revealed both her artwork and her motivation for contributing to this politically charged and creatively driven movement.
Twisted Sister, Reimagined
Fingal’s contribution to the campaign is a visually arresting work titled "Twisted Sister", a piece that encapsulates bold female energy and resilience — themes that resonate strongly with Harris’s candidacy. True to her style, the quilt bursts with vibrant colors, layered stitching, and symbolic elements that speak to identity, power, and collective momentum.
While the original Twisted Sister was a celebration of female strength, this 2024 adaptation becomes a political statement — one that honors the intersection of art, leadership, and progressive change.
Artists in Action
The Artist for Kamala 24 project invited artists from across the country to lend their voices and creativity to a cause larger than themselves. Each piece, donated for display and fundraising efforts, embodies personal conviction while contributing to a collective call for progress.
For Fingal, participating in the initiative was a natural extension of her career-long commitment to advocacy through art. Her work often explores themes of equity, empowerment, and visibility — values that align closely with the mission of the campaign.
Creative Advocacy
In times of social and political urgency, Fingal believes that art has the power to shape narratives, foster dialogue, and inspire change. “We create not only to express ourselves,” she noted in her post, “but to build something greater together.”
Her participation in Artist for Kamala 24 serves as a shining example of how creative professionals can engage in civic life while staying true to their medium.
