In-Progress - 1st Panel covering period from 1900 to 1939

Welcome to Leading The Way: A Tribute To Women Of The 20th Century


The Story of the World is often seen through the triumphs and defeats of men. Leading the Way: A Tribute to Women of the 20th Century is a painting triptych that seeks to contribute a fresh perspective on our collective History and Humanity.

Transcending all barriers -- cultural, racial, political, social and economic -- this project was conceived as a homage to women and to bring greater awareness of their fundamental contribution to Humanity worldwide.

My main objective was to compose a group portrait of historical significance. In selecting women of the 20th Century from around the world and from different fields of pursuit and professions, I created a powerful visual record of their extraordinary accomplishments during the last century. Because they have never been visualized together, this project brings a unique amalgam of genius and talent that has poured forth from 20th Century females into artistic form, and bears witness to their pioneering strength, their spirit and their leadership.
