Goddess Soul is a collage series that is about celebrating the feminine - mind, body, creativity and spirit. It is a series that recognizes the "goddess" that exists within all women and insights that we learn as women that are uniquely ours.
A portion of all sales from this exhibition will be donated to CARE's programs focusing on empowering women in poverty.
