The Artist's Inspiration

“The inspiration for the show “For Love of Woman” comes from all of the years of life I've shared with women:  observing, partnering, mating, conversing, hating, laughing and above all, loving them.. The images are a combination of visceral inspiration, subliminally perpetuated, imagination infused, along with the models/women who offer up their brilliant creative energy in constructing my motivations.  I love women, I love everything about them, but above all, I respect the extremely important power they are given at birth: born mothers.  My entire life, I have been challenged by so many female powers and the female magic that men will never understand, especially her super sixth-sense…. fortitude.  I appreciate the ever so wonderful female 'presence'.  No matter her size or shape, she is woman and belongs to a sorority of like-beings that are perpetuated by procreation. They are mothers, whether they ever give birth or not, and they are solely qualified, unique and possess longevity.  Men may have the key that links the creative process, but it is women who are the gate-keeper, the door-person, the drawbridge, spirit of the castle's womb, nurturing agent, life support system, and finally, the messenger. I love woman.”
