Artist Statement

I intended to create a series about imaginary versions of real places. Looking at the completed work, I see women in situations that represent strength, sexuality, vulnerability, beauty, danger and fantasy.  Through these journeys to imaginary places, I found a way to represent some of the complex and conflicting aspects of feminine power.
