Artist’s Statement:  My work is a search for understanding of the world and my place in it.  The female figure is at once my agent of discovery and the object of my scrutiny.  I use contrast and juxtaposition, repetition and sequencing, to explore the spaces between and around us and to suggest relationships. Creatures of the sea and sky are among my favourite subjects.  Times of day and night, the cycle of the seasons, provide context and perspective in my art.
