As a figurative artist, I spent most of my early training painting and drawing the female figure and have wanted to add these works of art to my portfolio of figurative works. As a woman, I hope to capture and express the powerful and often times complex emotions of women. I want to paint the sensuality, vulnerability, and passiveness of women. These different qualities along with others is what has been the connection and revelation of the beauty and mystique of all women. - JM
