Artist Statement:
My creativity is driven by
what I feel passionate about,
namely human rights issues, my
family, art, music, and the
environment. I also draw
inspiration from personal
experiences, as in my painting
"Me after Brain Surgery", and
collage/painting "Menopausal
Me in a Saucepan Lid, Warts 'n
All, with Everything Including

aesthetics with innovative
composition and novel
perspective. Fugal
compositions with repeated
subject are a common theme, as
in "The Absence of the
Prodigal Daughter" and "The
Blind Woman of Annandale".

Leonardo's Last Supper,
replaces the similarly
featured men with an
international group of women.
"The Seven Deadly Sins of
Modern Times" (painting,
print) reverses the
traditional sins: celibacy
replaces lust, workaholism
sloth, etc. The perspective is
based on ...
