“Flora and Fauna” Solo Show Sep 16-22

Posted on by

In exploring the many varieties of 'flora' and 'fauna', I drew inspiration from 17th Century Dutch flower painting's sumptuous beauty. The symbolism of flowers may speak of constancy, unrequited love, and the ephemeral nature of beauty itself. I continue to expand the role of animals in my works by looking back into the menagerie in Jean-Baptiste Oudry's paintings. I believe companion animals reflect the inner desires, jealousies, kindnesses and hurts of their human guardians.

“Reveries” solo show

“Reveries” is a selection of works portraying figures engaged in meditative introspection and dream states. To be caught in a reverie is to be caught in a daydream or fantasy and to inhabit the liminal world between the physical outer self and the mysterious hidden inner world.
