The Storm

Self portrait, Character based on The Lady of Shalott ,from part IV of Tennyson’s poem.




"Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance—
With glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott"




The storm series inception began just as its title. Spontaneous and unpredictable. This storm born for purging emotions. Acting out the rage, the fears,the hurt ,the calm. It came and went quickly in about an hour.The artist did not realize at the time of creation that she was acting out the flood of her hometown that claimed the lives of many including a close childhood friend.

    Holy WOW. This is so surreal, beautifully developed gentle tones and then that great flowing ribbon that saturates in the light. And the expression on the face. I love it.
