These intuitional dramas depict individuals and their conflict between intuitional awareness and the cognitive awareness of one another within the narrative created.  My images sarcastically expose the hypocrisy of the "perfect" and "artificial" scene that these characters are pulled from.  The paint added allows one to completely forget the photographic image on which it is based, giving life to a still image that has died, and providing reality to an image that is unreal.  Together they stir up the sensual and passionate responses of the human imagination.  The instinctive consciousness are called into play, boldly, without superficiality.
