My artwork depicts humanity, and how physical, emotional and societal influences shape us into who we are. The figures and portraits represented are often in states of being reflective, engaged, celebratory, or confrontational. In my process of painting the figures, my aim is to capture movement, and the physical characteristics and psychological aspects of being human. A sense of place and time are purposely void; creating an atmosphere expressive of the internal and external world of being. I want the spirit and energy of life in the work to impact the viewer toward an experience, and raise awareness to a condition or moment.

"My portrait 'We the People' depicts strength, honor, unity, and pride, while projecting underlining qualities of the human condition. I believe, a quest for freedom is expressed in the present state, and the warm color notes in the eye represent vision of future ideals at both individual and social levels." - Judy Volkmann
