Narratives about his personal world and the larger world are conveyed in the subtle gestures or posture of his subject. He describes his work as “figurative humanism,” and captures more than a representational likeness. He captures the essence of their spirit in drawings and sculpture.

Mary Paul Barnaby is a photographer and a painter. Retiring from the Air Force, she finally settled down in Frederick, Maryland after a lifetime of travel and adventure.

The clutter of discarded objects. Was the house defined by the people who lived in it, or can it be defined by the structure that remains?
