For the past 30 years this figurative and landscape artist has worked to create paintings that offer a glimpse into natural and spiritual worlds that surround us daily but which often allude or conscious notice.

The Goddess paintings are created to honor the deity of women. Each image in the series has grown out of the artist’s response to living contemporary women who personify heroic and stoic Goddess essence of ancient myth and truth.

Collective symbolism, color, composition, geometry, gesture and touch converge, superimpose, juxtapose and interplay in each image to tell a specific and unique story. It is hopped that, over time, each painting will slowly reveal its subtle nuances and multiplicity of meaning.

THE GODDESS OF THE MORNING Is the first image of The Goddess Series and is followed by the Goddess of the night Sky. Water, light, and asymmetrical balance unifies the realms of day and night depicted in this painting. Allusions to the lunar and solar origins of the Goddess and her role as giver of life and peaceful keeper of cycles are present.
THE GODDESS OF THE NIGHT SKY Is the second image of The Goddess Series and is followed by the Goddess of Loss. The scene is primordial, moon lit and calm, almost indifferent. There is no land. Only fishes, lotus, frogs and a lone prey inhabit this horizontal world of light, color, cloud and illusive forms. Movement stirs the surface of an otherwise placid scene.
THE GODDESS OF LOSS Is the third image of The Goddess Series? It follows the tranquility of the Goddess of the Night Sky. The image is full of appearances and perceived mixed messages, its binary nature is delineated and centered, or is it? Where is the center amidst Singularity and multiplicity, dawn and dusk, life and death?
FALLING AWAKE Is the fourth image of The Goddess Series? Prefaced by the Goddess of Loss, Falling Awake reflects ancient wisdom which suggests that one is enlightened not by seeking to become enlightened, but by being attentive to the moment. Likening the experience to falling asleep, in this case, one simply falls awake. Universal in concept, the image reflects a diversity of Goddess ethnicity found upon our Mother Earth to the backdrop of the Andromeda galaxy which is merging with our Milky Way galaxy. It is a place where life is born of stars and grows from starlight, Starlight that flows like water, returning to the sea, cascading back into the oblivion of the universe.
THE GODDESS OF TRANSCENDENT WISDOM Is the fifth image in the Goddess Series and grows out of Falling Awake. It is a composition of symmetry, balance, and also a delicate imbalance that is stabilized by the use symbolic colors, and by the interplay of human and animal imagery. It is an image of the coexistence of apparent opposites, of movement and stillness, distance and proximity, male and female, Yin and Yang.
THE RAZORS EDGE Is the sixth image of The Goddess Series and a culmination of persistence and power. Vertical, poised and balanced upon muscular legs, the Goddess walks The Razors Edge. Her flesh is pulled by gravity yet she is suspended in space with arms reaching out in an open embrace beneath the fullness of the moon. Life giving water, light and color many possibilities of passage and celebration.
