It’s Not Easy Being Pink Cat

It’s Not Easy Being Pink Cat, 6 by 6 inches, acrylics on wood, by Angeline Marie Martinez.

​One of my reasons for loving cats is when you call someone a pussy, you’re calling them a coward…and a female human. 

This article is all for us cats, pussies, kittens, female humans. 

We need ladies in the energy industry…but most of us are not qualified and encouraged to get into most science fields. 
​
I am currently (no puns intended) a lady working in the energy industry for my day job. I didn't know this was an option for me, until suddenly I made the jump. My next jump was within the company, from organizing glorified group research papers to planning work packages (what I call "human performance technical writing" because that's really what it is). Is my background energy? Mechanical? Nope. I am very left brain AND right brain...so there is that!

I digress.

I am relating this article to gender bias. I began my Goofy Cats collection at the beginning of 2016. But by the end of that 2016's US presidential elections, Goofy Cats means more about how I feel about my life and that as a woman in general. Each Goofy Cat is inspired by our cats Simon, Ghost, and Tuxie, but also by how I was feeling while painting them. 

This pink cat was created in acknowledgement of the Women’s Marches that were held yearly from 2017 through 2020. Yes, I am beyond relieved that Biden is being sworn in today! Yes, I will continue adding to my Goofy Cats collection! 

If you have school age girls in your life, please, encourage them to get into science, energy, and construction. If you’d like to know more as to why this blog post, read on:
