Kate Bergen is a paramedic and self taught artist from NJ. She has been in EMS for 18 years and to date, COVID was the most significant experience of her career. Kate has always prided herself on her own mental resolve to get through hard times. She never had difficulty not "taking work home" with her, the way some of her colleagues had. This pandemic hit in a way Kate was not prepared for and despite her training Kate found herself feeling increased anxiety and helplessness as the pandemic wore on. As a way to cope with mounting stress Kate began painting this series, Modern Day Rosies. It is a series inspired by the Rosie the Riveters of the 1940s and a call to action for the American people. It was created in the hopes of boosting morale and bringing her local community together. Every Rosie featured in this piece is a woman Kate either knows personally or was recommended by someone she knows. Kate has been featured in many news articles, podcasts, on ABC's Pandemic: What You Need To Know, the cover of Real Woman Magazine and the National EMS Museum as well as the Atlanta History Center. She is grateful for all of the support from her friends, family and community. This series was a very much needed therapy for Kate as much as it was appreciated by the hard working women out there. This series is about bringing recognition and thanks to all the hard working women out there on the frontlines in our communities. Presently, Kate has brought to you a coffee table book, Modern Day Rosies: The Women Behind The Masks, in which the works from this series as well as unpublished Rosies will be crafted together telling each of their stories as well as her own. Be on the lookout for it this fall! Kate can be reached at www.facebook.com/moderndayrosies or https: //katetheriveter.etsy.com
