These truths are that the growth of spiritual awareness is continuous and that nobody ever arrives at perfection. In addition, spiritual awareness connects humans with a universal force."

Her commissions include a series of bronze portraits for the Soul Train Awards, a bronze portrait of Rosa Parks for the Smithsonian Institution and designing the original logo for the Dance Theatre of Harlem.

She has made sculptures of prominent people including former President George H. W. Bush, Walter Annenberg, Michael Jordan, Gordon Getty, Nelson Mandela and Henry Kissinger.

The National Congress of Black Women commissioned Lane to create a bronze bust depicting women's-right advocate and abolitionist Sojourner Truth. The bust was unveiled on April 28, 2009 by First Lady Michelle Obama for permanent display in the Emancipation Hall at the Capitol Visitor.
