Figure:
This series explores women and myth. I started painting women when the works of Lisa Yuskavage and John Currin were all over Chelsea and I had just read, “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. I was inspired to paint women differently; the way I believed was beautiful and true, sans the cynicism and the satire. I developed a process of transforming ideas and perceptions into finished works of meaning and honor to the feminine being.

Mermaids
This series is about the mermaids as I see them. They are bold and beautiful, mysterious and feminine—much like the women I am grateful to have in my life.
