Domestic Housekeeper by Daisy Patton

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

I wanted to highlight one of the most underappreciated groups of workers, the domestic housekeeper. Even though they are frequently entrusted with some of the most important parts of their employers' lives (children, home), they are subject to a great deal of abuse, mistreatment, and poor pay with little oversight from outside the home they work for. The majority of these workers are women of color and often immigrants, of whom 23% are paid less than minimum wage, no paid leave, and are excluded from many labor and employment laws. We should recognize them, most especially as people who should not be invisible or ignored. — Daisy Patton
