"Women of Age" is an inspirational exhibit of 21 large, colorful, acrylic paintings as well as a video of women from different races and walks of life. It is a project I began in response to my own aging. As I looked into the mirror, and saw the lines and wrinkles and sagging skin appear, I decided that I had better focus on the positive side of growing older, and look for the beauty in aging. Being an artist, I decided to do it by painting portraits and interviewing women who, at 70 years of age and older, are living their lives positively and creatively. I asked each woman such questions as, "What makes life worthwhile?" ... "If you could tell the women of the world anything, what would it be?" ... "What is it like to be an elder?" These women are inspirational in many ways. They show that beauty lies deeper than the skin ...it is the ageless light that shines through. As I stand at the threshold and look into the doorway of old age, I realize that getting old is just a natural progression of nature, and that this final portion of my life can be loving, full, and creative.
