Are you in love? Have you ever been in love? Do you want to be in love?
Falling in love is an inspiring and overwhelming experience that takes us beyond
our ordinary lives. When we fall in love we see another human being as a god or
a goddess. If this person views us in the same way, magic happens and we hope
it lasts forever. The paintings in "True Love," were inspired by the theme of Saint
Valentine's Day and a passion to create a series of works that follow the narrative
of a romance. Painting realistically with traditional materials reveals not only surface
appearances, but also deeper truths. We all long to be in love. The myth of Psyche and
Eros is a story of falling in and out of love. True love, like painting, is so illusory.
