“I wanted to create a painting portraying a figure who was buffeted by circumstances, but poised enough to ignore them. The figure in Sentinel refuses to acknowledge the raucously circling gulls, or the wind blowing her coat, or even the viewer. She waits it all out patiently, eyes fixed on something we cannot see. The breaking light in the distance implies that the change she awaits is getting closer.” – Ruth Fitton
