Artist Statement
My artwork is a reflection of my life experiences
and my identity as a woman. The pieces in this series depict
the range of human emotions and the frailty of the human spirit.
When I paint I attempt to set an emotional mood with my art.
I try to illuminate the experience of loneliness, lust, temptation,
isolation, sadness, and sensuality. I illustrate the human
experience through the feminine.
I try to utilize color to suggest a mood
in my paintings and pastel work. I like to use colors that
reflect sensuality, nature, and sadness. My subjects are often
seen in the calm before the storm, moments of quiet reflection
before action.
As always I invite the viewer to imagine
the story that revolves around my figures, sometimes I explore
the issue of control, and choosing to let go control over
yourself or to be the dominant one in control. My art has
often held personal issues but I believe that these feelings
are universal to the collective unconscious.
