Mannequins and their images captured through photography, oil, and acrylic painting.

After almost being swallowed up by the herd, I have returned to my studio with renewed enthusiasm and a commitment to express myself honestly as I search for that fine line between reality and illusion.

Welcome to the Labyrinth. Within these passages you will view the visions Ive encountered during five decades of wandering. I call them Ladies of the Labyrinth. Some have been dark and foreboding, and others light and whimsical. All have taught me something about this paradigme of beauty, and myself. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I've had creating it.
