“I work with the figure to create an environment.  She is in

everyday situations, sometimes urban, sometimes local.  Protected,

at times, by the shield of an umbrella, to think, to ponder, or to

pause at being in the moment.  The color and application of paint

reveals the process which I hope coincides with the essence of my

meaning.  These are invented paintings, not intended to be

portraits; the gestures and movements are inspired by my muse.”
