Painting a Connection

(shown here - detail from pastel painting, "In Mother's Arms")

Of late I have found myself focusing on pieces that speak to connections - those between two people, a person to animal kinship, that very special mother and child bond, or even the relationship often so evident between two animals. These connections/feelings are so powerful and I want to be able to share them with the viewers of my work. I find myself so drawn into the individual story of each piece as I work on it . . . getting to know the person or animal on a very personal level and sharing their emotions as I work. I hope that my paintings speak to those who see them in a strong emotional way. I hope they tell stories, but at the same time remind the observer of a story in their own life or their own treasured connection.
