Mary Fields
24 x 14 x 13
plaster cast with applied patinas.
Mary Fields is a historic figure, and emblematic of little known history of our black citizens. I worked from pictures and text about her, and modeling an image that shows her strength and determination. She was a slave and eventually freed. Mary worked for a Catholic convent, owned a restaurant, ran a laundry, and became the first women to be a US mail carrier. She was 6 foot tall , cigar smoking, gun toting and nobody messed with Mary – a true pioneer.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
