"She Entered the Orchard To Pick An Apple - She Never Returned"

She isn't lost; she is exactly where she belongs. Stepping away from the collective noise, she chose the quiet truth of the natural world—rooted, watchful, and entirely whole.

Original acrylic painting on Canson archival 100% cotton heavy weight paper mounted on a wooden panel. It's ready to hang by the attached picture wire on the back. The dimensions are: 22” x 17” x 1"

Each of my paintings is a collection of under paintings. I build up layers of paint and texture before I introduce a figure. This provides a rich backdrop for the image to live on. It also helps me to mentally prepare for the story I'm about to tell.

The symbols I use create a pictorial language that I share with my audience. Each piece is a unique expression of my response to my inner world and the world around me.
