I draw
and paint images from situations I have
personally encountered, invented from
dreams or read in a book. My pictures
involve the figure. I am
interested in the universal phenomenon
of how humans attempt to interact with
one another in public and private
situations. |

Artist's Narrative
"The dance" is a
reoccurring theme in my work, whether the stage for
the encounters is a dance floor, café,
under-turquoise-water, an amusement park, circus
arena or high-wire. The mythical characters
are expressions of environments and fantasies of
emotion in a stopped-action moment.
In my paintings I
question and continue to be fascinated with the
mystery and tension between beauty, humor and
potential uneasiness in social interaction.
