As you scroll through this page you will see that many of the articles have been illustrated by my wife, Helen Werner Cox. She is a retired nationally certified library media teacher, who was trained as a classical painter at Boston University's School of Fine Arts and is now studying for a masters degree in fine art at California State University at Long Beach.
The featured image is a voluptuous mobius, inspired by the work of M.C. Escher. This Venus represents the many ways women must twist themselves and the boundless energy required in raising children, working, and maintaining a home. It is 9? x 7.75? x 4?, including the masculine base. The Venus is hand carved from cherry; the base from mahogany. The Venus Mobius was awarded the silver medal in an international carving competition.
