In the last three years, the female figure has emerged as the focus of my art.  These pieces, simple and elongated, without hair, without clothing, without obvious breasts, are clearly women. The long legs, representing the desire to rise above the weight of daily living, and the cracks representing that fact that all of us have suffered pain, make them both resilient and vulnerable; as all of us are. They are graceful, strong, and beautiful emanating the essence of what it is to be female. 

Representing my intensely personal journey, sculpture has become my voice, speaking the thoughts and feelings that come from the recesses of my soul. Without warning, new sculptures emerge, whispering to me that which I have been waiting to understand.

 Now I see others hearing the whispers as well; listening to what the sculptures have to say to them; the ideas to be sparked, the understandings to be gained.  In this way, these sculptures have become not about me at all, but a piece of the story belonging to each person who views them.
