About The Artist

Artist Statement: This project began in 2017 simply as a search for inspiration. Recently widowed, and beginning to focus on the next chapter as a single parent and artist, I found strength and empowerment in the stories of trailblazing women throughout history. I began to paint portraits of these women, bringing vibrancy to the old black and white photographs I had found. I try to capture the spirits of these women who would certainly be cheering us on today. As we learn their stories and look into their eyes, we remember our heritage as women and girls: creative, resilient, and courageous.
