Statement: Cornelia practiced landscape architecture at a time when the profession had little visibility or presence. Her strong voice, commitment, and steadfast perseverance allowed the field to grow and gain prominence and respect. Her passion, conviction, and longevity have been an inspiration to me personally as both a landscape architect and a woman professional running my own firm. For me, the wonder of Cornelia has been her constant growth and exploration of the profession over the course of her career. She is and always has been a force to be reckoned with.
I was motivated to contribute to the 100 Women Campaign because I love this profession, and I want to support endeavors that will continue to raise the visibility of the field and push conventional boundaries. I think the 100 Women Campaign will have a lasting impact and legacy.
