These paintings are the result of intersecting ideas. I was studying the work of Jenny Saville, whose figurative painting I greatly admired, and I was asked to participate in a show of 12 women artists each producing two pieces specifically for the show. One piece was to be on the theme how we think society sees us. At this point in my life I felt that, although I worked hard to be truly myself, the way others viewed me was always distorted by the various roles I played - artist, wife, mother, worker bee. Further it seemed that it was the time of my life where I found myself feeling squished into certain roles and places by the decisions I had made years and even decades before. I felt pressed up against it and a little stuck.

As sometimes happens, the exhibit with the 12 women didn’t pan out and the 2nd piece, how I would like society to see me, remains unfinished.http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/ra-magazine/winter-2007/academy/shapeimage_2_link_0
