The artist says of the series: “Our bodies are the vessels that carry us, that harbor our souls, that feed and nourish our children, and that feel both exhilaration and pain. This diverse series , done over several years, is unified by its central feminine theme that expands upon these notions. It is a collection of personally expressive pieces as well as work commissioned by other women. The casts document specific times in the lives of each woman represented whether pregnant or otherwise. The imagery on each cast is an inscription of important symbols that tell their stories. The drawing and paintings are, in a way, self portraits, that explain my relationship with nature, my children , aging and mortality.”
