Artist Statement:
Inspired by the English
Pre-Raphaelites and the
writings of late Victorian
Kentucky poets Madison J.
Cawein and Robert Burns
Wilson, my paintings are of
the eternal human quest for
love set in a lost Gothic
world inhabited primarily by
women who are caught in the
contradictions of their dreams
and how they have found their
world to actually be.
Many of the inhabitants are
haunted, but not by
supernatural forces. When
ghosts appear, they are not
always the spirits of lost
loved ones, more often, they
are the ghosts of an idea or
dream-for example, the idea
that one can find a lifelong
and true love or of that one
person who simply cannot be
forgotten. The women who
spread their wings are not
angels in the expected sense;
their wings are a
manifestation of the forces
that shape their lives.
Men are sometimes present in
my images, often in an embrace
of acceptance and partnership
as they share the immutable
longing for love. At other
times, men are found at that
pivotal moment of undesired
separation or are reaching out
to comfort those in pain.
But not every moment is one of
tragic endings.
