A Man of Sorrows
2009 |
)
|
| I recently went to a great performance of Handel's Messiah in Birmingham, England, and was entranced by the air "He was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." It made me cry, and I remained haunted by it, wondering how I could paint the musical experience. It was still in my mind a few days later in the Barber Institute in Birmingham University when I saw Orazio's 17th century marble relief of "The Man of Sorrows", a tearful face, which made me think of painting a portrait.
I was struck by the synchronicity.

Woman who runs with wolves
2009 |
)
|
| C.P.Estes wrote a wonderful book called "Women Who Run With The Wolves", which explores the creativity of the "wild" woman. I painted about that. The figure is deliberately androgynous:a womam able to hunt, fight for, and defend her loves. |

Alienation
2009 |
)
|
| There are times when we all feel alienated from our selves; we look into the mirror, and the mirror shatters. |
