Dowager

The Women's Funding Alliance is a non profit organization whose mission is to advance leadership and economic opportunities for women in Washington State.  They will be featuring my artwork over the next three months as a part of their Spotlight on Women Artists series. The pieces above are from my Dowager series.  These ladies come from the photographs of my grandmother and her family and friends, all women possessing  a hard won wisdom and strength, courtesy of the great depression and World War II. I have the vaguest of memories of these women as a child, but do remember their laughter, grit and warmth.
