Steel Magnolia II

In the North, the magnolia trees' blossoms are majestic, magical, and fleeting, lasting sometimes only a week. I stood with my friend, painter Kathy Anderson, awed by the magnificent colors of the trees. As we took in the sight, I found myself intrigued with each individual flower's unique form; something I never noticed before...and my new Steel Magnolia Series was born!

"Your glowing sculptures have attached themselves to my mind's screen, so lovely, hauntingly beautiful - the way one remembers a flower, or sees it in a dream. To me they are surreal, glamorous, strong like gladiator blossoms. They are light as movement, light as dancer, light as ghostly presence, light as a moment in moonlight or memory, glorified, mysterious, and in a way shocking. They lean, they stiffen, stretch, elongate, open, fold, reach, extend, bend, engage in both gymnastics and prayer. It must be extraordinary to be in a room with the entire group of them. Like being on the stage with a troupe of dancers. Bravo!" ~Starr Ockenga, writer and photographer

Each of these sculptures ranging in size from 9 to 14 inches in height are in an edition of 9 and are $2,200. I will be enlarging a select few for my outdoor exhibit at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, CT opening this June. Stay warm and stay tuned!
