Spirit WomenMy collection of Spirit Women was inspired by the women of the Book of Genesis. They spoke to me of the beginning of time, of day and night, the earth and its bounty, of the human soul and our connection to the whole.
These pieces were created using a variety of materials, including Italian and Mexican smalti, stained glass, tile, beads, various metals, clay, wood, and shell. Find process photos here. |

Miriam at the Red SeaThis piece was inspired by the biblical prophetess Miriam. Stories tell us that as the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, Miriam stood at the opposite shore singing and dancing to motivate the people. It is also said, as they wandered the desert a well of water followed Miriam to quench their thirst. I was moved by her heroism and bravery.
