Dawn of A New Day

From the Artist: This painting is a reflection on how I feel and am coping with my present day self-isolation. Finding inspiration from the paintings of the pre-Raphaelite painters with their sensuous depiction of women from mythology as well as prints from the Japanese Ukiyo-e period, I seek to create artwork that brings some meaning to my existence and elevates me above the negativity which I experience during these dismal days. This painting is meant to open the doors of possibility and allow the viewer to enter into a deeper level where wisdom and metaphor can reveal a vast new world beyond the surface. I seek not only to render the interaction of colors as I create images but explore elements of the female psyche. Incorporating images of classic women with objects of nature, I try to illustrate through my paintings their innate nobleness, revealing the instinctive nature that resides within them.
