To image Anne Bonny is to embody the delicacy and aggression of the waves on which she sailed. To portray her deep love, her strength, her courage and her greed, one must embrace the nature of the landscape in which she chose to exist. My paintings begin in this place, where a wild and unfathomable landscape meets an epic love affair and the sublimity of romance means each embrace could be the last.
