MBK modeled the Doves in clay when her granddaughter, Lisa, was three or four years old. Lisa’s existence gave the artist the thought to craft a piece dedicated to her with the universal maternal theme that includes love, family and dependency. | Cranes Nesting on Strickland Pond

MBK was in her late 70's when cranes first appeared on the pond behind her home. The sight of cranes inspired her to carve the two pieces in wood which she had cast in bronze shortly after she finished them. |
