“I am totally absorbed by the emotion of body language and facial expression.”
Location:
South Main at Fig St.
Inspiration:
The subjects of this bronze are three life-size children, a boy and two girls, sitting and talking together in friendly casualness. Silently the sculpture communicates all the budding curiosity about life that every teenager feels. Not just about the mechanics of the facts of life, but about the promise of life, the excitement of dreams, the exhilaration of expectation. These are the ‘facts of life’ so readily accessible as one looks upon the faces of the three children.
About the Artist:

Her works are widely exhibited and displayed in public, national, international, municipal, corporate, and private collections.
