And the Sky said Yes - 40"h x 30"w x 2.375” - was created with acrylic paint and collage. Please be aware of my note about shipping on the Original Artwork main page.

This piece is an expression of feminine beauty and strength. A reflection on how I understand myself as a woman and how that has changed over the course of my life. I think it’s also a celebration of the joy of being a woman. It’s as if I’m at a dinner party going clink clink clink on my wine glass and as the room quiets down I raise my glass and say, “To all women everywhere. You are beautiful. You are loved. You are cherished!”  Then we all share a toast. To womanhood.

Because of the nature of the piece, I had to twist Toby’s arm to write a poem for it. He said he feels like it’s not his place and then I reminded him how much I need him to be my voice. To speak as if he’s me. And I’m so happy I convinced him (again) because the poem is beautiful. I love the interaction between the sky and the narrator. For me the sky is a metaphor for several different things at once. She’s myself, she’s my best friend, she’s God, she’s the universe, she’s all women everywhere – like the collective voice of femininity.
