The Venice Biennale is the
World's most Prestigious Contemporary Museum Art Venue
Picasso exhibited in 1948.
My mother, a painter, encouraged me to draw at a young age.
We’d ride the train weekly to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
I memorized whole rooms of paintings!
I remember looking up from my small height
overwhelmed in a room
overflowing with Monet waterlilies.
A whole new world for a small child.
I fell in love with Sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design.
Clay felt so right.
The fluid sensuality in my hands translating into my sculpture and drawings.
Both Venice and Vermont magnify the intensity of my work.
I return to my US studio in an explosion of creativity.
I NEED TO SCULPT AND DRAW
IT IS ELEMENTAL TO MY EXISTENCE

“Leda” is part of a series of my sculptures entitled Mythological Images, my revision of the Greek Myth “Leda and the Swan”.
"A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast."
Excerpt from Leda and the Swan by W.B. Yeats
My rendering of this myth brings the legend into today’s context. It offers a changing narrative of female existence over time. Unlike the story of the ancient Greek Myth, this sculpture “Leda and the Swan” transforms herself into a powerful swan, who can fight off her attacker and protect herself. My version of Leda pushes towards gender equality.
