This series was inspired by a dream. A dream, in metaphor, about the emergence and growth of the young girl into a young woman. The eight painting series or story, follows one girls journey into womanhood. Intended to be shown together, and not split up, I have yet to locate the right Gallery that will befit this exhibit. Again, as in many of my other works, I use the two themes of water and forest. Water, being elemental to purity, rebirth, and tranquility. And the forest, which is symbolic of the inner soul's innocence, and protection from corruption.
This series, and it's story, can not be understood by everyone. It is abstract within realism. Purely metaphoric and symbolic!. Women seem to get more out of the theme than men. This is natural. The story is not about nudity. Men think with imagery. Women, on the other hand, think with emotion. It is about the feelings of the journey.
