Mother Jones – SOLIDARITY Fine Art Print

Honor the spirit of Appalachian resistance with this striking fine art portrait of Mother Jones, the legendary labor organizer and fierce advocate for working people during the West Virginia Mine Wars. Created by West Virginia artist Sassa Wilkes as part of a community mural project called SOLIDARITY, this piece carries both historical weight and contemporary collaboration.

The original artwork was painted in 108 individual sections and assembled like a quilt by community members at the West Edge Factory in Huntington, West Virginia, symbolizing the power of unity, labor, and collective Appalachian action. The vivid red background references the red bandanas worn by striking miners, a historic origin of the term “redneck.”

This museum-quality reproduction is a 9x12” giclée print produced on premium archival watercolor paper for exceptional depth, texture, and longevity. Including the border, the full print measures 11x14”, making it easy to mat and frame in standard-sized frames. Each print is individually hand signed by the artist.

Perfect for collectors of Appalachian art, labor history, folk art, political art, and West Virginia memorabilia, this print is both a powerful conversation piece and a meaningful tribute to one of America’s most influential activists.

100% of the profits from this print will go to ReCreate Appalachia, supporting its mission to uplift Appalachian artists and provide accessible community art experiences throughout the region.
