“Dear Heart” — a term of both affection and respect, most commonly used during the late medieval and renaissance periods, appropriated here for the Muses whose talents, skill, and daring have contributed so much to my own development as an artist.

I see this gallery changing every four to six weeks, as I rotate through the wonderful models with whom I’ve worked.

The first is Angelamarybee, who was one of my original models, and to whom a piece of my heart still belongs.
