Circe
Circe caught in a quiet moment at the edge of the sea. The wind god blows a storm her way, but she is lost in a moment of music and the warmth of her fire, metaphors for self expression and passion. Inspired by a visit to Santa Felice Circeo, a seaside resort town just south of Rome. Oil on canvas, 16" x 20".

Ladder
True self expression and self-actualization often come at a price. If being true to oneself goes against the grain of society, then surely it involves some work. Ladder is about a woman's journey toward self-actualization. The ladder represents her path which necessitates passing upward through a stormy existence. The presence of the winged figure alludes to her goal; spiritual self-actualization achieved. Oil on canvas, 18" x 24".

Leda (The Gift)
In ancient Greek mythology Zeus visits his earthly lover, Leda, in the form of a swan. Sometimes life's circumstances physically separate us from our loved ones. This ranges from mild separation to the ultimate separation, death. In this painting, the swan bears a gift of a necklace for his lover. Is his visit a physical one, or is he there solely in spirit? Leda's calm countenance suggests the latter. This image speaks to maintaining our heart connections on a levels that transcend our mundane existence. Oil on canvas, 24" x 36".
