Individual female to male artists explore and define what their Female

"I am a link between hearsay and evidence.  I stand as a witness."
 Hap 
Hanchett.
 
"I feel like a ferryman between nations and my work, my art are images
of the 
icons I find on my journey."  Dragon Xcalibur.
 
Every man is a self-made man.  Every man is born with the raw material
of what 
it takes to be a man.  Some are born with a body that readily speaks
and 
assumes the male experience.  Others must craft themselves inside
and out.  In 
this respect every FTM is an artist.
 
Artists:  Hap Hanchett, Dean Kotula, Dragon Xcalibur, Jason Cromwell,
Michael 
Kirk and more.
