I am often asked what inspires me to create the images in my paintings and monotypes. There is no one conclusive answer--maybe something I saw in my daily activities in Taos or in New York (one of my recent stops), maybe something I read in a book or a newspaper, and then there is always just intuition. Mystics falls into the latter category--just the way the ink worked on the plate. Something to just satisfy my inner muse. Figures in long dresses have been and are an ongoing pattern in my work for the past 10 years. A past life or just a dream of times gone by?
