Works in Progress
Young mother mopping
These works in progress is a graphite drawing that shows the mother mopping the floor on her hands and knees. The multiple positions are a growing process, much like that of the mind of a frazzled mother.

Bather Series
The following works are a growing series. Bathing is an act of self care, a soothing remedy for chronic pain, and insulation from the constant noise of a young active family. While water can obscure the overwhelming sound of life, it also reverberates . It’s vibrations remind me the role of the mother is permanent state.
