Francis is in a state of deep meditation. The peace that flows from his prayer surrounds him and draws the animals to him so all can exist in a state of harmony. To reinterpret a phrase from the prophet Isaiah “…the fox shall lie down with the rabbit and the thrush sit by the owl…”
My work has been part of many solo and juried exhibitions mostly in New England and the mid Atlantic region. I have participated in sculpture walks in Meredith NH, Newburyport MA, Mankato MN, Eau Claire WI, Sioux Falls SD, and Castlegar BC, Canada. One piece, a bust of a new born baby, was part of an exchange exhibition to Moscow, Russia. I have won numerous awards in various venues over the past 40 years. To list a few: CT Women Artists Association, Phillip Mill Patrons’ Award in PA, the Liskin Award, the Isenberg Award, the DeBellis, & Richman Awards at the Salmagundi Club in NYC, and the Montana Memorial Award at the Hudson Valley Art Association in NY. In 2017 I was awarded a regional prize, the Gifford Award for Excellence in Sculpture by the New England Sculptors’ Association. My work in is many private collections as well as Goodwin College in East Hartford CT, Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania, St. Paul’s Church, Chatham NJ, and Christ Church, Raleigh NC.
