About David and Bathsheba: Leonard Cohen’s song, Hallelujah, brought the story of David and Bathsheba to my mind. The haunting lyrics became a spark for my narrative.
The Bible story tells of King David, overcome with lust when he sees Bathsheba bathing on a roof; he must have her. He has her husband killed through military maneuvering and marries her. In the story, David has all the power. The original tragic plot and flawed characters were begging to be revised. Under my brush, the lust survives, but the relationship has changed. Bathsheba is here of her own accord. At the moment, David is serving her while mischievously catching our eye in the mirror. They share the power in an epic romance of mutual respect and love. |

Circle of Light: Halos in Contemporary Art33 Contemporary Gallery, Jan 1-31, 2023
Fragile Like a Bomb, 16x12, oil on canvas over panel SOLD About: Fragile Like a Bomb is a portrait of a warrior for justice. She pushes the boundaries of society for a more equitable future, across gender, racial, and economic lines. Her medieval armor and futuristic headgear signal that her battle is far-reaching, from ancient past to distant future. The “Dissent” emblem on her armor is a tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her halo of LED lights, a ghost of Joan of Arc’s divine calling. The title is from a Frida Kahlo quote, “She was not fragile like a flower; she was fragile like a bomb.” |

Retro Show at 33 ContemporaryTousled, 14x11, white and black charcoal on toned paper
Jan 2-Feb 28, 2023 About: While playing around with costumes and lighting I settled on this messy hairdo for my model to accentuate her shoulders. The resulting pose and her sultry expression are reminiscent of Alphonse Mucha’s Art Nouveau era paintings. Her shoulder in the light consists of only an outline, bare in the truest sense of the word. |

100 Greatest Women Artists of All Time...So Far I'm honored and humbled to tell you that I have been included on a blog titled 100 Greatest Women of All Time...So Far. It's a beautiful collection of artists from the past and from the contemporary art scene.
Thomas Arthur Smith, the author of the blog, chose all the work by researching on the internet rather than requesting images from me. It interesting for me to see what he chose. It was like a walk down memory lane, seeing paintings I hadn't thought of in years. He did a good job choosing work from the different periods of my career. It's quite an extensive article with a great collection of paintings and material. He asked me thought-provoking and unusual interview questions that he has included. He has spent over 5 years and researched over 3000 women artists. I look forward to exploring the blog more! Here's the link to the 100 Greatest Women Artist's home page. |
