"Intimate Reflections 2006-2008: The Spell and The Butterflies" is a continuation of the Self-Portrait series begun in 1991. Spending many hours creating art work with the "butterflies I captured their essence for my paintings. I learned that each girl has her own story and that they live in a space somewhere between their fantasy world and the real world. In my paintings, I capture the precious fleeting moments that we shared and the happiness these moments brought to my life.
