"Colossus" (artist Statement)
This series is inspired by the writing of Sylvia Plath. The characters
in these paintings are not images of Plath herself. They're based on the
archetype that surfaces for me in her poetry; the persona of a
conflicted young woman with monolithic ruminations, trapped in simple,
demure settings and the repressive social mentality of the 1950's. These
paintings are about a woman, much bigger than the fatuous definitions
imposed on her. She is, at once, expanding and in the process if
imploding.

Absolutely stunning. This is precisely what makes me fall in love again and again with art.
