As an older woman, I find liberation in being "invisible". There is a freedom to be subversive, to agitate, to be out from under the radar. I can enjoy life because I don't care how other people think of me, I can be as eccentric as I choose, as weird as I choose. I am comfortable in my own skin. When the world has no expectations of you, you become exceptional in your own right
Women have just got on with it for years, but we cannot fly without our wings. I would like my art to help regrow those wings. To provide a coming together and sharing of knowledge that allows women to age and watch us fly. For me this quote sums up menopause in one sentence ". . . . Her wings are cut and then she is blamed for not knowing how to fly" (Beauvoir, Borde, Malovany-Chevallier and Rowbotham, 2011) I want to give older women their wings back with my work. To give back to "the older woman " her joy, beauty and fearsome knowledge""
