Finding Her Way-1

This piece, Finding Her Way, was inspired by a character in a novel I am writing. Claire is a 1920’s debutante who is searching for her destiny. It also symbolizes all of the other women I have worked with and known who are also trying to find their creative paths and fulfillment. I put it together spontaneously and didn’t know what it was about until almost finished. Then all of a sudden the title and meanings were clear to me.
