Today is not the same as yesterday, nor is it the same as tomorrow will be. Yet, there are
threads which hold the fiber of our being together. For me, that thread is rooted in feminine
energy. Archetypes of feminine energy expose the play and counter play of strength and
vulnerability. In the Seed Bearers Series, figural images are played against the reproductive
aspects of plants, where the focus eludes to parallels of existence yet at the same time, where
separation exposes vulnerabilities. In the Co-Exist Series, a duality is presented; an exploration
focusing on the façade, while the inner figures hold space. These illusions are created from
patches or runs of color which allow the mind to wonder through the layers… layers created in
an intuitive manner where there are no rules, there are no formulas, simply a perception of a
place in time.
