Inspiration

18" x 24" Pastel/Paper
“Call Me Ishmael”

“Relentlessly explores the meaning of an intelligent man’s relationship
with his soul and with his God. The eyes of this portrait follow the
viewer whether standing, squatting, or on the left or right side
of the artwork.”  Critic

 The moment Herman Melville penned the opening line,
“Call Me Ishmael”,
one actual story— Moby Dick
— began to separate itself from imagination to reality,
a transition from story to existence.

“Poetic and lyrical, yet novel is the artist in applying a
magnifying-glass to the psychology of refined human
beings.  Her works have a gentle introspection and her
techniques give a penetrating glimpse of psychological reality.”
