I created this piece for my dear friend and student who was going through cancer treatment. Her faith was an important part of her life and I wanted the Virgin praying over her so she could draw on this for comfort.

LEAVING MY MARK
Leaving My Mark, was created in the early days of COVID. One reason had to do with my age — I am now over 70 years old. As a no-longer-young woman, it seems as if I am now perceived by many almost as if I have no opinion that matters—another older woman who can be easily dismissed. The last reason I hooked this piece was as a response to the crazy times we are living through this year. In the very beginning of COVID-19 virus’s life I realized that, because of my age, this could easily take me out and what would be left?
