Daughters of Jerusalem
(eight)
from Stations of the Cross
Watercolor
on paper
Statement:
This is one of fourteen paintings that were done in sequence,
partly as a meditation, on the Stations of the Cross. I was
struck by the idea of this group of grieving women and who
they might be in their world and in ours. All aspects of
sorrow seem to weigh so heavily on women as they rely on each
other in sisterly relations. They are on the sidelines in this
sad parade.
Bio:
I am a retired woman who is still searching for the dream of
inventing images to share. I studied fine art
at the University of Minnesota and at the Cranbrook Academy of
Art. For a time I supported myself as a watercolorist, and I
spent most of my career in the graphic arts. |
