figures

 

Painting the figure allows me to explore the many facets of my personality and helps to reveal universal truths about my development from childhood to adulthood. In this ongoing series of doll-like characters—sometimes self-portraits and sometimes not—I work to establish a connection between subject and viewer by presenting a subject at a specific moment in time. The gaze of each figure, direct or indirect, invites the viewer to play the dual role of visitor and voyeur.
