Marina Orlova is a Russian immigrant to the U.S., and was well known on Youtube as "HotforWords", where she would use her attractiveness to hold her "students" attention to learn the meanings behind words.
She's gone a bit... strange in recent years, since she took up painting... and this painting may explain why...

    IT WAS FIRST USED BY AMERICANS; IT WAS INVENTED BY AMERICANS.

    Others may have adapted it, but Rand's explanation is essentially correct.

    Are we clear, here?

    Art is what you find yourself in. You clearly perceive something that I fail to, but the failing is mine, not yours.

    Never watched O'Reilly. The paintings are not inspirational. The word origins that I read were all correct. Speaking of which, I could not get a link on her site to that. "OK" has several possible origins, of which "Andy Jackson is Oll Korrect" is a wrong one.

    Also, it is not clear that she is an Objectivist, though she seems to enjoy life in the USA well enough. In the comments on her site, the quote from Ayn Rand about the phrase "to make money" being uniquely American is wrong: it is not uniquely American.

    That said, not a bad find... I wish her well.

    I dunno... I kinda rather like it! The gold leaf, the dollar sign... it's pretty in its own way... I may get it for an early Christmas present for my office!
