Birds of a Feather collection
Louise Nevelson struggled in her practice into her 50’s when her themes of marriage and femininity lead her to increasingly more geometric, abstract, and completely layered monochromatic wood sculptures made of box-like structures and nested objects.
She was a prominent figure in the feminist art movement, advocating for women's representation in the arts. Her legacy includes not only her significant contributions to sculpture but also her role as a trailblazer for women artists, inspiring future generations (myself included) to explore nontraditional materials and large-scale works.

About “Birds of a Feather” from Karen Vander Werp - Grand Rapids, MI K LINN Interiors Grand Rapids, MI:
Debra always has a deliberate message behind her creative projects. I love her mission to acknowledge women of accomplishment in the form of birds. From fabric, shapes and fringe detail to beads and leg materials all are selected with relevance depicting the women they represent. These selections define their purpose, personalities and accomplishments.
