The Women with Wings project is a collaborative and unique effort that brings together women; diverse in terms of age, ethnicity and race, sexual orientation, religion, and physical ability in an unprecedented way. Women participate in the creation of  totem-like  towers that tell the stories of significant moments and events in their lives. Women impress images, symbols, and words into the clay in order to tell their stories and create a lasting document of and tribute to their dreams, experiences, losses, successes and lives.  Nationally recognized, artist Lorri Acott-Fowler sculpted winged women to place atop each tower.  Lorri's vision for women "We dream. We fly.   We are." guides this aspect of the process as a tribute to women.

Our team, consisting of  Ronda Stone, professional photographer,  Cindy Griffin, author, writer and Professor at Colorado State University,  Kira Friedman, professional photographer and videographer, captures the heart of the experience on video while Lorri and co-director Nan Larsen lead the activities.  The project is about women's strength, courage, and wisdom. It celebrates the fact that we  have a stories to be told, and that each of us has a beautiful voice that needs to he heard, valued, and celebrated and used.

Women with Wings is a project being re-created around the US and globally. Women throughout the world have rich stories of love, laughter, struggles and hope. As they tell them they remember the value in their own lives, and as we listen, we remember how connected each of us is to another and the ways in which our stories overlap. Years  from now people can touch and point to the stories and impressions of their great-great grandmothers, aunts, nieces, daughters and their friends, and then, after the world wide project is complete, the impressions left by women from other communities, and other nations.
