My forthcoming exhibiition Women and War: From Troy to Terrorism presents images created to emphasize the roles women have played during war. The exhibition opens with a reception from 6 to 9 at Pyro Gallery on April 22 and continues through May 29. The Gallery will also have extended hours (11 am til 9:00 pm) for First Friday, May 6.

War uniquely affects women, their lives shattered by anxiety and grief. They endure the deaths of sons, raise fatherless children, and live with husbands who are impaired by permanent physical and psychological wounds.

There is no Arlington Cemetery for widows. No Arc de Triomphe commemorates orphans, no Wall of Remembrance honors widows, no Eternal Flame is dedicated to sisters.

Inpired by The Iliad, I have created paintings of women who deal with the unfathomable grief of loss as females from antiquity, archetypes of war's victims, juxtaposed with mixed media portraits of the warriors who are their family.  This exhibiiton honors all these women from all ages.
