New episode with Turid Gyllenhammar: Strong women
Our latest episode is out now.
Listen to Turid Gyllenhammar: Strong women.
A woman artist often has to juggle family matters at the same time as fulfilling her own creative dreams. The seeds for Turid finding her way to Pietrasanta came from a chance meeting with the renowned sculptor Helaine Blumenfeld when Turid was 18. However it took nearly 40 years for her to make her way to working in marble. Her story is one of strength and determination.
She tells us about her Nuova Vita project - a series of baptism dresses, about 50 cm high, carved from a spectacular range of beautiful stones - and what she is expressing through them. Her inspirational journey shows how we can all make strides in the face of life’s setbacks and how she took a chance on a new life.
