Primarily figurative, my work tells a story. I draw from my experiences, memories, current and historical events, shared universal feminine experiences, travel, and literature/poetry to make social, political or moral comment. Whether humorous, ironic, personal, or universal, my goal is to create more than just an image or object. Instead I hope to invoke a reaction–a thought, memory, shared experience, or emotion–positive or negative. I apply this same approach to my portrait work–reaching for an interpreted (and not photo-realistic) portrayal of each subject.

Portraits

I’ve been working on a series of portraits using a variety of techniques: painting, mixed media and gel-plate monoprints (this process involves painting the image backward & in reverse on a gelatin plate and pulling the image once completed. To see the process in action, check this out on my YouTube channel.)
