Perceptive Sisters - Women's Resilience

Resilience -the capacity to return to the original shape after being twisted or stretched.  In order to overcome many traditional obstacles placed in their  way, women often need even more resilience than men.    Gerburg Garmann uses vibrant color to portray women’s resilience in overcoming adversity and defeat,  an essential strength to deal with what is thrown at them every day.   Face after face, Garmann creates a strong and resilient sisterhood  through the women’s unceasing, perceptive gaze.

Gerburg Garmann, a native of Germany, is a professor of German and French at the University of Indianapolis.  Her scholarly publications, poetry, and art appear in English, German, and French international publications, magazines, and anthologies.
