Battle of the Sexes: Billie King vs. Bobby Riggs - 16x20 Inch Acrylic Tennis Painting

Story Behind “Battle of the Sexes”

This artwork is inspired by one of the most iconic cultural moments in sports history — the legendary “Battle of the Sexes,” where tennis champion Billie Jean King stepped onto the court not just for herself, but for every woman who had ever been told she was “less.”
It wasn’t just a tennis match — it was a fight for respect, equality, and the right to be seen as powerful, skilled, and deserving.

In my painting, this battle becomes a symbol of every woman who has ever pushed forward when the world tried to hold her back. It’s about strength, fire, and the courage to take your place without asking for permission.

This artwork honors the women who rise.
The women who challenge old rules.
The women who play, create, lead, and win — on their own terms.

Billie Jean King won that match — and in that same year, her fight helped bring equal prize money to the US Open, opening the door for future generations of women athletes.
