The Extended Family of my Childhood
29 artworks
In this category, I immerse myself in the memories of my childhood, which was dominated by the extended family, on my father's side. By the means of 'heads' painting, I bring them back to life. In addition, my memory produces childhood situations that I capture in childlike watercolor sketches.
Family Today
31 artworks
It is God's secret what's in our deck of cards. For better or worse, mine did not include a partner and a family of my own. Which is not unusual, perhaps even typical, for a woman's life dedicated to independent living and free creative development. This said, in this series I look around to see what is "family today". I observe people with kids in the café, out on the streets, when I go shopping etc. Of course, memories of my own small family of origin do blend in - we were a "Family of Five".

And how much time do they have for a shot prayer? Will 60 Seconds do? This said,

The moment when Ukraine was pulled into war by Russia, a war of aggression that violates longstanding international law, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Selenskyj stopped wearing the usual presidential clothing, i.e. a western type suit. And he continued to stick to that habit, wherever he travelled to visit other countries' leaders.

The Pope Screams (And Sometimes Cries)
15 artworks
In tribute to Francis Bacon (1909-1992), one of the most impressive 20th century artists, in this gallery I show a series of paintings and drawings inspired by Bacon's famous theme, "The Pope Screams", which he put forward in the 1950s.
