Artist Statement
My work challenges "the woman's place in society" as well as celebrating her achievements. It is based on my life as a woman, raising my two daughters alone. My work and family are connected in a deep way. Perhaps because my own artistic life has been so intertwined with (sometimes retarded, sometimes advanced by) my life with my two daughters, I found my true voice as an artist soon after my youngest daughter left home, when I became an active feminist -- one who believes in the social, financial, and political equality of the sexes.
