The first group of paintings, on this site, represents about a year and a half's work.
In 2003, I received an artist's enrichment grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women to produce this body of work.
The exhibition, titled Myths and Revelations was recently shown at ArtsPlace (Lexington Arts and Cultural Council Gallery in Lexington, Kentucky) opened June 17 and ran through August 25, 2005.
Each of the women (and one man) is a friend of mine (if they weren't before, they became intimate friends during the process of photographing, talking and painting).
They are all artists; Visual, writers, dancers and a filmmaker.
The man is a sculptor, photographer, political activist.
I am grateful to all of these people who so graciously gave me complete freedom to paint their images.

Please visit my page often to see new works as they are completed.

Currently Showing:

My studio is in downtown Lexington. (859-421-2705)
I'm also represented by Swanson Reed East Market in Louisville (502-589-5466) and the Fraser Gallery of Washington, DC.

Although I have mostly been doing figurative work in the last two years, many people asked me if I would do some landscapes again... so I took the opportunity to paint 8 landscapes, 2 streetscenes and a cityscape.
