​Woman's Work

Picture
Throughout the pandemic, I had the opportunity to connect with numerous women and read extensively about the disproportionate impact of job losses on them. For various reasons such as family obligations, company downsizing, and other factors, many women's lives have been altered. Initially, I focused on women who had lost their jobs because I, too, had lost all my in-person teaching and exhibition opportunities. However, this situation provided me with the chance to concentrate on my painting and studies and accept an invitation to mentor other artists around the world online through Mastrius.com.
​
Although I had originally planned to feature stories and photographs of women who had suffered job losses during this time, I soon realized that sharing painful experiences could be challenging. As a result, I decided to welcome any woman who wished to be part of this project. I enjoyed painting portraits of each of these women who provided a sentence or more about their jobs, ranging from parenting and volunteering to working in any field or profession. Women's contributions to the world are essential.  ​#WomansWorkProject

"I enjoyed painting portraits of each of these women who provided a sentence or more about their jobs, ranging from parenting and volunteering to working in any field or profession. Women's contributions to the world are essential.
I am delighted to have had the opportunity to showcase women from all over the globe."

​The book is available online through Blurb Books here.
