I love figural art.

The human figure in art is classic and universal. It has echoed since the beginning of time. I have chosen work that is marked by an emphasis of the figure. I am in awe of the work created by these artists.  For me, the work shows consummate skill and creative talent. 

Recently, I find myself adding figural elements to my own work. They help me create a visual narrative of the places I depict in some of my quilts. The human figure helps me to create a sense of character and context.
