Artist's statement:

Attitudes are revealed, feelings exposed in the gesture.
Rhythm, music, movement, dance.
Sometimes a narrative is there,
Poetry, lyricism.

Mystery is in the gesture.
Nature and fantasy.
Occasionally macrocosms and microcosms.

Questions and statements of what it means to be human,
Our tendencies to veiling and unveiling ourselves.
Simple or not so simple truths.

Deeper levels of reality,
Connection to the vastness,
Potential for transcendence,
Perhaps the direction toward which the gesture points.

The gesture is form and/or color unfolding,
Manifesting its gift of sensuous pleasure
Simply out of love
Or the miracle of itself.

Beauty
Aliveness
Grace
Humanity.
It's all in the gesture.

These recent figures were drawn and/or painted in transparent watercolor during 2000 and 2001. Most began from direct observation with the live model. Others are purely imaginative.
