About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Darlene McElroy presents a portrait of a mysterious woman in a vibrant collage. Spinning tops hang ins strings depicting constant motion. "As life and the earth move forward in time, we all change mentally and physically," says Darlene. "One day we are barbie dolls, and the next we are the Venus of Willendorf - we are stuck in the spin." The painting comes in a light wooden box frame.
