Project Statement

In 2014 - my landscape shifted. My mother died. I was no longer anyone's daughter.

My children married. I was no longer needed as the mother I'd - for so long - become.

I left my chosen profession, making a promise to myself that I'd never draw another straight line. Ever.

I found myself lost in the 'not knowing' - who I was... where I was going... what new world awaited. The titles and roles that confined and defined for so many years - no longer fit.

Fast forward... and here I am.

This is a small part of a much larger personal project - a visual dialogue between my past and my present day. It is a reminder to me that the only way to the other side... is thru. And - that there is power in letting go.

I needed to uproot before rooting.

I needed to be silenced before learning to speak.

I needed to feel ground before
finding my wings.


This series of dyptichs is meant to be viewed as pages of a book... a short chapter in a long life’s story.
