I once had a vision to serve in a might way, but it didn’t happen. My life was shattered due to an unforeseen marital breakup. As a result I was left with three adopted medically fragile sons with special needs. During that time, it seemed impossible for me to see this vision come to past. Over time, I tried to hold on to the vision to adopt more children. I couldn’t do it alone, I felt defeated and a failure. My compassion has been without compensation, and my openhandedness has been without reimbursement. And thou, the journey seemed to have been predestined and a hardship, I’ve smiled under the hidden tears. Until one day, I had a spiritual encountered. I was inspired to sculpt and use my hands as a platform to advocate, and encourage others to see the need for children to be permanently placed and adopted.
This body of work{BBC} is emotionally and socially driven.   The work I have created depicts emotional experiences of children removed from their home by welfare system for whatever reason. At this point, their lives are uncertain. But if there was such a magic wand, I would perform miracles of justice, peace and security for all children.  With my body of work, I hope I can inspire to secure a home for a child in need.
My esthetic is rough, dark, and textured, yet allows the viewers to define their own narrative.

Marjae L. Gilbert coined a term called Loss Longing and Desire or LLD that express emotions beneath the surface.The emotions are deep within and only you can feel them. Since, my work continues to evolve. No matter the series, I tend to explore the dark places with hope to heighten one’s awareness and sensitivity to pain and suffering in humanity.
