These works represent a marriage between my practice as a Printmaker and Painter.  These selections from two bodies of work, show my efforts to re-examie the traditional artist, model, viewrer relationship by seeking to establish a greater connetion with the sitter.  We are co-labors in this process.  I interviw them about their preception of beauty and how they see themselves in the dialoug about the Black Femle Body.  In return their thoughts are used in the production of the work and as titles.  In this way the models are represented mind and body.
