Here are some images that did not make it into the 40-year Retrospective book I will be sending out to curators. They are drawings from the 1980s and 1990s. The middle image is taken from Lesbian Art in America by Harmony Hammond. The first drawing was done when I was a student, and the last one is a drawing of my friend Donna.
Back in the day, many of us looked up to Sandra Bernhard, and were intrigued and tantalized by her relationship with Madonna. For some reason I remember her line from a live show, “Look ladies, no cellulite”. Maybe I am thinking about that now because of being in Palm Springs. The original painting is in someone’s personal collection.

I am loving the colors in the skin tones so far. The figure behind these two men will be a drawn figure, and I am not certain how I will do that. So I am playing it by ear. This painting is 30 x 40 inches.

I updated the paintings page of this website, confining the work to approximately the last seven years so these images had to go. They exhibit my more expressionistic style, and some are painted collages, juxtaposing images from my personal photographs as well as those found in special collections and archives.
