"In her search for representations of women as evolving from places of fear to positions of strength and power, Churchill is constantly exploring new ways of perception."--Louise Weinberg, Curator
Diane Churchill: For a long time, I had drawn women in introverted postures; when I finally got a woman on her feet, it was very exciting. My figurative work is now about ecstasy and freedom.
Diane Churchill: The twin-tailed mermaid is an image I found in a Romanesque church. I like to bring realism and abstraction together.
