Bananas
watercolor on paper, 25½ x34

“The inspiration for Bananas
came when I turned a corner
at my local grocery store and saw
before me an entire landscape
of bananas resting below
a seemingly magical light. Even in
contrived, highly staged settings,
experiences like these are fl eeting.
The next day most of the bananas,
along with the light, were gone,
the tableau never to repeated in
quite the same way again.”

Off ering of Strength
oil on linen,30x27


“Off ering of Strength was inspired by the idea


of strength during hardship and adversity.


The subject holds ginkgo leaves, which have


been a symbol of strength for hundreds of


years. She represents all women—regardless


of status, race or background—and the way


they carry themselves with dignity as they


deal with struggles throughout their lives.”
