The originals are small oil paintings -- portraits from imagination of girls and young women, often accompanied by still-life objects.
The Women in these imaginary portraits gaze directly at the viewer with peaceful, yet powerful and intelligent, expressions. These positive depictions show the strength, beauty, and inherent power of Woman, and portray a respect for Nature and for the world around us.
The Girls are earlier works, never exhibited. In this series, young girls are shown with serious, soulful, and sometimes anxious expressions.
