I frequently paint dolls, animals, and objects I’ve collected for studio work. I chose to paint dolls whose characters speak to me – their attributes are meaningful to me on some deeper level. They touch my psyche.
As I select and place the objects in a composition, they take on a life of their own as my inner muse spins a fantastic tale on canvas that often surprises me. These open-ended stories offer the viewer an opportunity engage their imagination as interpret the story.
