Frances Myers (1936-2014) was born in Racine, Wisconsin, and earned her BS and MFA at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She specialized in printmaking, and many of her prints and installations explore collage elements, geography, and physical boundaries as two-dimensional forms. Her work is featured in collections worldwide.

"My work in the past few years has dealt with portraying the heroic aspect of woman-heroic both in scale and deed. For this I have often used the image of Wonder Woman as I remember her from childhood comics, with her headband crown and arm raised in rescue. When the suggestion came to express my artistic concerns using the statue of liberty as focus, I was struck with how that powerful figure paralleled the spirit of my previous work. In this print I tried to communicate the sense of strength and courage I always Feel I see Ms. liberty and create the mood of celebration which the country feels about her renewal."
