Nebraska Women Artists' Hands Project

Photography Project-NEBRASKA WOMEN ARTISTS' HANDS PROJECT keeps building. Women involved are: Anne Burkholder, Patty Scarborough, Connie Yoder, Sally Jurgensmier and Diane Rathje. They are from Lincoln Nebraska, Geneva Nebraska, York Nebraska and Heartwell Nebraska. I had the opportunity to photograph a glass jewelry maker from Omaha Nebraska, Jette Vogt whose photographs will be in my next show and I plan on photographing a well-known print-maker and a poet from Nebraska.

Fall winds move sun-dappled leaves,


bright yellow and falling daytime stars


be-speckling the green grass like 


a night of starlit skies that wide-opened


spaces and sparse lights permit out here


on the prairie.

Nebraska Women Artists' Hands Project has begun!

I have begun a project for my photography-photographing women while they create their art. Painting, pottery, quilting, sculpting, jewelry making, writing, print making.....the possibilities are
endless!!! So far I have 5 women photographed and in my shows. It is a great start. I learn these




artists stories and learn about their art and the processes of their art. Women's hands are shaped by their art and that is what makes this project interesting and exciting.
