I use art as a vehicle for me to share the ideas in my head with the
outside world.
Painting is my way to express how I understand beauty and sexuality
as defined in our culture and I get great satisfaction and mental
therapy in the actual process of creating. As you will notice most of
my work exemplifies texture and patterns. I create 3-d spaces on
relatively flat surfaces to bring the viewer into rich believable worlds.
Frequent materials found in my paintings are: fabrics made of velvet,
satin and fur, cut paper, wood, ribbon and real jewels. The subjects
in my painting collection mostly explore female forms and I work both
from live models and pictures. They are luring, seductive and
relaxing in elegant environments. The patterns and v-like
composition angles are meant to create complexity and keep the eye
moving in the paintings.
When I work with my subjects there is some recognition or
self-reflection that seems to take place. There is a great push and pull
in how I view them in the fiction of perfection and the fact that is
exactly what society wants from people. It encompasses everything
used and desired in a commercial realm with a twist of new life and
character. I am intrigued by delicate gestures, perfect hair, inviting
smiles, desire and fantasy, and hint of invitation behind their eyes.
On a deeper level I see isolation or hope in them sometimes although
most viewers are captivated by the sensual fantasy element. They are
my living Barbie dolls. My vision for future collections is to develop
these themes and explore other relationships with life. Creating this
art means everything to me and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for
viewing my work.
