No matter what else, it has been the year of the woman. Being one, myself, it has been a good year to be an artist. It has shown through in my artwork, always in ways that are not planned, and certainly not in any political way, but the women have been landing on canvases and they look to be pretty comfortable there. At any rate, not on purpose, but I don’t think you can be alive creating right now without some kind of contemporary news and happening creeping into your artwork. She is definitely empowered. As it should be.

This painting is one of my most recent works and I suppose it has evolved from the other paintings. She is on the threshold in this painting and I for one hope she is able to get where she is going. I feel like she will.
