Her work appears in galleries in the United States and in London, Paris, and Rome. She has been commissioned to paint such notables as Indira Ghandi, Joyce Carol Oates, Martha Griffiths, Valentina Tarashkova, and Corazon Aquino as well as a 20-painting series of living women of achievement for the Women\u2019s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls. She was chosen to occupy a studio in the Scarab Club in Detroit, the first woman to be so recognized by that all-male artists\u2019 club. She then served on its board of directors for two terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an individual committed to the advancement of women, Patricia Hill Burnett convened and chaired Michigan\u2019s first National Organization for Women (NOW) chapter. In 1971, she chaired International NOW, convening affiliates from 21 countries. In 1972, she was appointed by Governor William Milliken to the Michigan Women\u2019s Commission where she served four terms, two as its chair. She also chaired the National Association of Commissions for Women, and she is the co-founder of the International Women\u2019s Forum in Michigan. She additionally served as co-convener of the Michigan Republican Women\u2019s Task Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing her artistic and feminist expertise, Ms. Burnett frequently functions as an educator by speaking, writing, and teaching. She is a lecturer for the U.S. State Department and also serves on the board of the Detroit International Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burnett has been recognized and honored by many organizations. Northwood University recognized her as one of the world\u2019s Ten Distinguished Women in 1977. She was presented the Silver Salute Award for outstanding achievement in community leadership by Michigan State University in 1976, and the National Organization for Women chose her as Feminist of the Year in 1974.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3051,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3050","mwhof","type-mwhof","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.2) -
