I believe in the power of story, and I believe in exploring inner landscapes, playing with the past, and looking at history and narrative with a fresh perspective. I work primarily in oils, incorporating antique gilt frames and antique china into my pieces, and I draw extensively on my academic background in art, history, and literature to create what I hope are timeless, romantic, intellectually thoughtful, and visually layered portraits of novelistic heroines and heroes.

BY MORNING, CLARISSA WOULD BE HALFWAY TO SCOTLAND is based on original artwork by artist Susannah Carson.
According to the Artist: "In my portraits, I juxtapose a historical style of realism with a modern crop to focus our gaze on the subject's gaze, thereby creating direct engagement and a welcoming sense of story-sharing intimacy. These are the heroines (and sometimes heroes) of their own stories, and although they are caught in a moment of stillness and graphically silhouetted precision, they are embedded in their own rich, imaginative worlds, ready to share their secrets...and to hear our secrets in return."
