The Beauty and Her Beasts

The Beauty and Her Beasts... 20x24 oil on linen. This is a personal look at anorexia, obesity, and the "hazy normal". I have been all three, and wonder at this point in my life, if I even know what normal is supposed to be...

The Curious Case of the Recurring Childhood Dream

20x20 oil on linen... Dream book definition: To dream that you are being pursued or attacked by a bear, denotes aggression, overwhelming obstacles and competition. You may find yourself in a threatening situation.

Flying in the Face of Adversity

Flying in the Face of Adversity, 11 x 14 oil on canvas. This painting is about being able to pull on your own personal resources, or strengths when facing adversity. Odd thing is, as soon as this sketch was completed, everything seemed to go wrong, and I needed to keep looking at the sketch to remind me to stay strong! This has happened so many times, whereas usually, I paint issues after they occur, there are those strange times when I paint them, and within hours or a day or two, the issue arrives. Makes me think about what I am going to paint next! haha....
