The paintings of female figures are part of an ongoing series beginning in the late 1970s. Inventing ambiguous space and vividly colored environments create visual and psychological tension and suggest places that tease reality, but are transformed. The images of “everywoman” inhabit mindscapes composed of iconographic elements, or metaphors.
