Here are busts, reliefs and models that represent women who have accomplished something (or many things) notable. They may be famous or not. I wanted to learn about women both past and present who have dedicated all or part of their lives to a cause or to their communities and families. I hope to add many more to this gallery.

Susan B. Anthony (1820 - 1906), was the face and voice of the Women’s Rights and Woman Suffrage Movements in the U.S. in the 19th Century. She and Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked together from their meeting in 1851 until the latter’s death in 1902. Anthony was a visionary leader, activist and speaker. She died before the 19th Amendment was passed, something she worked her whole adult life to achieve and was never able to legally vote.
Bronze 18 x 9 x 10 inches
Women’s Rights activist who headed the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848. She became the intellectual and spiritual energy behind the cause for women’s rights and woman suffrage. Together with Susan B. Anthony, they became the driving force that inspired thousands of women between 1848 and 1920 to speak, write and march for the right of women to vote in the United States. She did not live long enough to see the passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution and so was never able to legally vote herself.

Eight year old Martin was one of three victims of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. Inspired by the makeshift memorial left by the public on Boylston St., singer/songwriter Linda Chorney wrote a song and music video titled “Martin”. We spoke about making a bronze tribute to Martin and his message of peace inspired by a photo that appeared on the internet of Martin holding a sign he’d made for a school project reading “No more hurting people, Peace”. Bridgewater State University, where Martin’s parents met, placed the life size statue of Martin on their campus to coincide with the naming of the Martin Richard Institute for Social Justice at Bridgewater State University. It’s our hope that Martin’s message of peace and goodwill will be a lasting inspiration.

These paper casts are made with cotton pulp pressed into a plaster mold which is created from a clay relief. The effect is an embossed quality with the image coming into focus as light plays across the surface. In some, I’ve added other material to the paper such as pigments, thread, fibers, etc. to enhance the image and add additional interest and meaning.
