My visit to Japan, Greece and Israel brought about the creation of "The Temple Series." It involved large canvases on which concentric rectangles float over shimmering nuances of color, inspired by ancient religious structures. Studying the religions that produced such architecture, I became increasingly aware of the female presence: goddesses, priestesses and worshippers who danced and sang their prayers to the life force.
