Although it has been said that we are living in a “post-feminist” age, women still face many challenges. In spite of feminist advances, we are still confronted with conflicting media messages. To accept that one’s being or reality is always subject for the scrutiny and judgment of others, either men or women, is to operate in a constant state of uncertainty. It is this uncertainty that has inspired me to directly place myself under scrutiny – as a middle-aged woman and, as an artist.
I have undertaken a re-examination of pin-ups, in particular the celebrated commercial artwork of Gil Elvgren from the 1930’s to 1970 Inserting myself in the drawings and dressing the part in what became a pictorial autobiography unfolding in the present, provides for me a way of telling a story that has always been told, and continues to be told by others, both men and women.

In theses new paintings I deal with that no man’s land of the mind, the dream. I have tried to get to the place that exists within dreams, with its drifting logic, vagueness and of course the strangeness.

Co-dependencies is a series of portraits of the skeletons of broken shells. Battered and worn by the Atlantic surf on the eastern coast of the US, these remnants of shells have been removed from their ocean context. Now reflected on a field of dark glass, the images suggest a co-dependency and intimacy of relationship in this created context.
