Additional Information:

Even in the Garden explores myths, bible stories, lullabies, and fairy tales about women's role in the world. I hope to touch upon fictional events that represent the loss of feminine power and the birth of the patriarchy.

It launches from antiquity and reaches forward toward today, to examine how antiquated ideology still rules our contemporary world.

About the Artist:

I am an artist working in paint, photography, and mixed media. My work contemplates religious, historic, and mythological women, personal histories (including my own), the undercurrents of contemporary society, plus the little things that sustain us (like fiddler crabs, seahorses, radishes, eggs, and fish).

I have always been attracted to projects with an environmental bend; images of horseshoe crabs and seahorses have been with me for years, as is the balance between man and his environment. My first series was called Crustaceans and Older Influences, and it is still part of my works in progress. In 2023 the sub-series is called Wanderings with Odysseus in a deep blue sea.
