      My work has always been narrative and figurative usually involving landscape elements.  My recent series have been about girls with unnaturally long hair and another about girls and horses.  Currently I have been working on a fictional biography of a young Marie Antoinette and an additional series based on the Infanta from the Velasquez' painting "Las Meninas".  Uniting all of these series are the fragments of places in which the figures are located and the tiny paint strokes used in the paintings' creation.  The miniscule strokes of paint are akin to embroidery stitches and have led to three-dimensional work incorporating embroidery which was included in my installation at Gallery Joe titled "Le Vraie Histoire de Jeune Marie."
