The portraits in this portfolio , with the exception of “Joni,” are part of my ongoing project “Look Again: Portraits of Daring Women,” which celebrates the lives and accomplishments of women throughout history. Each portrait is accompanied by a poem, written by a diverse group of women poets. The exhibition is currently traveling to museums in the US with “Exhibit Envoy.”
“Annaghmakerrig” I and II were inspired by my surroundings at a recent residency in Ireland. The Wizard of Oz images are part of a new body of work I am developing in response to current events. I intend to explore this and other children’s stories for content that speaks to our current moment.
