permanent pieces and are in more than 600 private collections. When sculpting<br />

she works predominantly in bronze and glass. Her pieces are at once graceful,<br />

delicate, simple and monumental. She draws on the human figure as a common<br />

language that speaks to us. Through her style she is able to achieve works that<br />

evoke the universality of human condition. It is a language that is accessible to<br />

all regardless of age, culture, and education. Because of this, her figures, at<br />

times, are intentionally impersonal and anonymous. They lack detailed hands<br />
