Edge of Night

Ages of Contemporary Woman is a highly textured acrylic abstract on hardboard. Four ages are represented by the colors of white for innocence, red for passion, yellow for enlightenment and burnt sienna-black for transformation. This painting adds to the classic ages of woman as experienced throughout history (innocence, fertility and crone) to reflect the hard-won opportunities for personal actualization that are available to all women (not just an isolated few) in the Western world in the 21st century. This is the title painting for a book of my art and poetry.

THE VEIL OF INNOCENCE represents the veil that we view the world through until the harsh realities of life break through. This painting is the second in the "Ages of Contemporary Woman" series.
