​Artist’s Statement

Dr. Sonia Henry is a general practitioner and published author.  She has been an inspiring advocate, speaking out against bullying and sexual harassment within the medial profession.  In this portrait featuring Sonia’s direct gaze as well as vivid colour forms, I wanted to convey her vivacity and liveliness.
 
This painting is part of my Presences series, in which I employ liquid flows of abstract colour across human figures.  In so doing, my aim is to explore the nexus between the body and the soul, while suggesting the variety of our internal psychological states.
