Red Dancer Series:

​Dancers stretching, twirling, bending in the Bronx Botanical Gardens were the inspiration for the red dancer series.  What was most striking was the shapes made by their bodies and fabric.  I chose to capture the energy in a series of paintings.  The negative space spoke to me as much as the form of the dancers. It all culminated in the swirl of the fabric, the light on flesh and the sculptural movement.
