GODDESS PAINTING SERIES - FEATURING BEFORE/AFTER




ARTIST STATEMENT

In my work, I explore the feminine side of sexuality and emotion.  I exhibit the barest articulation of the human body in a deconstructed and simple expression of form that belies the complexity that is just under the surface.

I grew up painting with oils and occasionally acrylics.

During the late 1990s I began to experiment with soft pastels in a small, black, bound and worn journal that I carried around with me during college along with a rusty can of fixative spray. I eventually gave up having to convince airport security to allow me to keep the spray and resigned myself to purchasing a new can each time I found myself in a new destination, which could be as often as once a week.

By 2003, my notable style of bold lines, rich colors, and explorations of shadow emerged in a series of soft pastel illustrations that capture the emotional expressions of the human form.
