”This painting began with a very cool vintage dress that came into our household. I used an old cosmetology book for the hair style. The knife on the table dates back to the civil war and I picked it up in a local junk store.
” “This is a painting that my daughter posed for in an old jacket that was coming apart at the seams. The frayed edges felt like a good metaphor of our life as artists that often feel thread bare in more ways than finances.
” “I painted this when our family was living for a year in Brooklyn NY. Our family of 8 all in a 2 bedroom apt with one bath. It was a great adventure.
” “This is another painting of one of my daughters wearing a cool vintage blue sweater we found some where I don't remember.

” “This is a neighbor girl who came over to play with my girls over the years. One day she showed up wearing this wonderful red collar and I knew I needed to paint her portrait.
” “This painting is from a series about looking to the things that can't be seen with only a material world view.
” “This painting is like an icon in that it encourages a state of meditation.
” “These are my three daughters. This painting has to do with how we learn in different ways, how we tune into the world around us.
” “This is a painting in a series dealing with the idea of poetic insight. What do we see when we go beyond the obvious, what does the blind poet see?
” “I have painted this view many times and over the years developed a meaningful relationship with the city where I live.
