Menopausal Hatchling

2002

Description

This is a psychological representation of the freedom and joy and delight that comes when a woman is no longer tied to moon cycles and social/sexual obligations.

At midlife, a woman metamorphoses into a different creature. This can be terrible or wonderful depending on the woman. The woman in this painting is overjoyed to discover, after breaking out of the chrysalis of her former self, that she has wings and beauty and choice.
