Series 'Passages from Dark to Light'

My Mother, Edith Milner, is a Holocaust survivor. In 2014 I went with her and some of my family to the National Holocaust Memorial 20th Year Commemoration. The weekend was very intense to say the least. I was hugely impacted by the visit and how I was surrounded by so much strength. I was overwhelmed. When I got back into the studio this series developed. Over the next year I learned my Mother's story in more detail and tried to recount her steps through this horrible time. She was only 15. I hope I have honored her story. This series has been on display at many galleries in the Philadelphia area.
​I composed a poem written about her story. Read it here.
