I Am A Woman photography 36 x 24 I AM WOMEN, NOT A HOST On June 24, 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned, thousands gathered in New York City in urgent protest. I stood not only as a witness, but as a participant, using my camera as both instrument and voice. These two images form a single statement. On the front of her body, the words I Am Woman declare identity, autonomy, and presence. On her back, Not a Host confronts the reduction of women to vessels. Together, they hold the tension between visibility and erasure, power and vulnerability. Photographed in the surge of collective resistance, this woman’s body became both canvas and proclamation. She carries the language of protest on her skin, transforming flesh into testimony. Presented in Seneca Falls, where the women’s rights movement first took organized form, these images connect past to present. They ask what has changed, what remains fragile, and how we continue to stand — visible, embodied, and unyielding.

Julia Ann watercolor with collaged watercolor 24 x 18 framed size: 25 x 19 Julia Ann was born at the end of the Civil War. She married when she was 15 years of age and had her first child at 18. Julia Ann and her husband had thirteen children; twelve lived to adulthood. During her lifetime, women could not own property and could not vote. It is hard to imagine how many diapers she washed or how she grew and cooked enough food while keeping the household running. Family stories include how she refused to learn to drive, even after the family owned a car. She made extra household income by selling butter and eggs to neighbors, delivering them by horse-drawn surrey. Stories are told of how she made deliveries quickly, frequently turning down conversations and gossip to get to her next delivery.

In Tongues sculpture 30.5 x 11.5 x 11.5 As a metal artist, my artistic evolution has been a journey of discovery and refinement, where experimentation with techniques and materials has shaped my unique voice. From the initial spark of inspiration to the careful execution of each piece, my process involves a thoughtful exploration of form and meaning. I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of metal as an artistic medium. This journey reflects the enduring power of creativity, drawing on a diverse range of ideas and inspirations. Some elements are rooted in the past, inspired by old drawings and childhood memories, while others emerge from new emotions. Through my work, I aim to forge connections through my creations, transforming metal into vessels of emotion that resonate with viewers.

She Spoke Up XI, Carrie Chapman Catt charcoal 22 x 30 framed size: 28 x 35.75 The ‘She Spoke Up’ series began as a reaction to the destructive and inflamed political and social climates. With the cascading revelations of the Me Too movement, centennial anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment, surreal landscape of the Covid pandemic, unrelenting flood of lies and misinformation, and the incessant assault on democracy by our elected politicians, I chose to elevate the work and words of women who have spoken truth to power, pursued freedom and equity, amplified truths at great personal cost and transformed the broader world. Their contributions, stories and lives are often obscured, forgotten or deliberately contradicted. Collectively the series stands as a response to endemic misogyny, racism, sexism and obstruction. Birds, symbolizing keen vision, spirituality, and freedom, are potent symbols of humanity’s hopes and dreams. I integrated specific bird imagery into each work, finding their symbolism often uncannily mirrored the characteristics of each woman. Falcons symbolize endurance survival, victory; wisdom, methodical hard work, rising above challenging situations and success. The series reflects on struggles and inequities of the past, underscores fundamental challenges that still exist, highlights transformative achievements of intelligent, courageous women, commemorates the truth of their words and work, and suggests possible tomorrows.

Not So Delicate Flowers mixed media 20 x 20 This image is silent, though filled with voices. A thick crowd had amassed on that cold, windy day in 2018. We didn’t feel unsafe. We listened to speakers who delivered warnings of what would come if we gave up the fight. Someone asked to take our photo, and a few hours later, we learned that we had become the faces of National Geographic for the Women’s March. We exercised the empowerment of our triad, utilized our rights to speak up against hate, and with the help of a friendly stranger, our message made its way to southern Haiti within hours. Our signs were shaped with intention, and filled with love to remind those who saw them that above all, we can live our lives without identifiers - except family. We represent what love look like, no matter where we were born, no matter what our language is. We don’t look like one another, and we find that to be beautiful. We laugh together. We argue together. We work together, lending more hands to lighten the load. This piece is a reminder to dare to hope. To look fear in the eye and conquer hatred. We have seen what fear and hatred can do - tear people and things apart. Love and hope can do so much more.

Her Unshaded oil 36 x 24 framed size: 39 x 27 Her Unshaded is an art statement commemorating the evolution of women's involvement in American history from the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a moment when women were excluded from political life, to the future being shaped by female voice, knowledge, and leadership. The past has been shaded, with an actual shade at the top of the image and by use of books written during the period on women's lives. There is a painting of a woman of color beginning to rise. Her posture and gaze represent knowledge long held but historically concealed. At the base of the work, coded tags invite the viewer to engage digitally through their smartphones. The links lead to a contemporary art project lead by the artist through her young art students who were asked a single question: What gift would you give to the world if you could give anything? One link goes to their artistically created videos and another to an open source page in Wikipedia, "Timeline of Women's Suffrage in the United States". By integrating historical artifacts, figurative representation and contemporary participation, Her Unshaded connects past, present and future. Women continue to rock our political world.
