Figurative
These figurative works are inspired by dreams, theatre, circus, or poetry that touched me. I'm drawn to the story or our lives. Often, what is revealed is a rawness: vulnerability, courage, resistance, resilience. A moment capturing a shared human experience: the quiet, bold, unknown, practiced & the spent.
