The latter includes such major works as the life-sized Trapeze act, "Only Connect," commissioned in 1987 for the auditorium of the Frank Jewett School, in Maine, along with another mobile, with light for the stairwell area, "Three-Ring Circus," and two more recent Per-Cent-For -Art commissions in 1993, the flowing 11' "Thoughtstream" for the Laura Richards School in Gardiner, and the colorful 15' "Children Reading" in the entrance of the Winslow Elementary School.  Highly visible, yet conveniently out-of-the-way, these fluid and changing creations are a perfect compliment to high-ceilinged atrium areas being designed into many public and private spaces today. 

A versatile and exciting medium, the stroke of the torch and its effect on pre-painted and enameled metal surfaces has a drama of its own.  Amplifying line and color; these forms are then organized in three-dimensional space to become mobile "pictures" throwing shadows and reflections (often with a light source included) and generally taking on a playful kinetic life of their own.  "Found" objects are used where expressively appropriate, and recycled enameled steel, into which the artist melts other enamel colors as well. She also incorporates translucent fibergalss material she colors herself and applies, with resin, to extend or "fill" metal forms, adding yet another dimension, and allowing even very large works to remain relatively light-wieght without sacrificing strength.
