Women of a Certain Age
Women of a certain age, women entering a later time in their lives, share many feelings and attitudes. During these years, women sometimes find the beginnings of new directions, often when circumstances in their lives begin to change. Paradoxically they become more cautious and thoughtful as they realize their time is limited. These women are the subjects of my sculptures.

A Thing of Beauty
As important as the subject of my work – women of a certain age – is my desire to create objects of beauty. I use porcelain in almost all my work. Porcelain’s beautiful fragile-looking surface is, in reality, very strong, like my women. Drawing on my extensive background in fashion design, I incorporate textile patterns and drapery, adding fluidity and providing a vehicle for more color and texture. 

Narrative
Each of my sculptures is an attempt to capture the different emotional states women display during this chapter in their lives. The common denominator is that there is significant introspection triggering change in the entire persona, visible in their facial expressions and postures. Some of my sculptures look realistic, others look fantasy-like. Sometimes this choice mirrors my mood at the time of creation, sometimes it’s a reflection of how individuals may perceive themselves.
