Original artwork description:
Oil painting of a ballet dancer alone in a studio wearing informal dance attire. I was drawn to the energy in her elegant pose, and her being drenched in light, but most of all, with the at-one-ness and total focus of her physical expression. I have loved dance and the art of dance ever since I was a very young child, taking ballet lessons in a class of other hopelessly awkward little girls, who also had dreams of being on the stage someday. I was influenced and inspired at that young age by the work of Edgar Degas, and the three ballerina prints that hung on the walls of my bedroom.
