Works based on memories of Paris from my first visit, based on a Proustian evocation of the essence of moments distilled by light and the senses. Each work originates from a surreal image of that most iconic symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, submerged in a pond. Paris is a legendary city, filled with history and lore, redolent with the scent of La Belle Époque, and the promise of magical days and nights in which anything can happen, and often does. "Paris When it Sizzles" evokes Parisian dusk, à l’heure bleue, when glittering lights fill the city with the promise of excitement.
