About the Vagina Lady
The Vagina Lady lives and works in San Francisco, which is fortunate, given the nature of her work. She spent her wholesome childhood doing arts and crafts in rural New England, but has become worldly and sophisticated during her years in California, where her militant feminism has mellowed and her funky side has flourished. She is proud to be a craftswoman and third-wave feminist. (Isn't that the wave we’re on now?)
Vagina Lady’s efforts span multiple platforms. It began with a few interactive pillows. She has since created and worn a series of handmade vagina costumes to San Francisco bay area events for several years. Now favoring wall art, her textural sculptures adorn her intensely feminine bathroom-cum-gallery. She relishes the astonishment and delight with which people view her artwork.
The Vagina Lady's Mission
Phallic symbols can be seen and recognized throughout our society. Vaginal imagery, however, seems to have been left behind. What gives? Somehow the air of mystery about the vagina has become mingled with shame and discomfort. But the vagina, in its glowing non-pornographic beauty, deserves to be admired in a non-pornographic way. The Vagina Lady wishes only to share that beauty with the world.
