Size Details:
Metric – H: 40 W: 27 D: 12 centimetres (height / width / depth)
“When somebody tells me I cannot do something, that’s when I do it.” ~ Gertrude Ederle
Gertie is a spirited tribute to the trailblazing swimmer who became the first woman to cross the English Channel. Brimming with determination and joy, she captures the essence of youthful courage and fearless adventure. Sculpted in iron resin, her poised limbs and fluid form convey both strength and grace, while her playful expression hints at a quiet defiance—an unwavering belief in what is possible.
More than a moment in motion, Gertie is a celebration of resilience and empowerment—an invitation to meet life’s challenges with boldness and heart, just as she did.
