Statement:
My paintings can best be described as figuratively idiosyncratic portraits in narratives. In my work I explore women's issues with psychological subjects of excess, complex sexuality, body politics and social taboos. My current work is representative of my worldview and inspired by current events and global feminist ideology. Interested in the transformative moment when a photographic image becomes a painting, I use photographs as the starting point for all my compositions. In addition to my own photographs, I use the personal photographs of others, and images found on the Internet, in magazines, movies and in the trash as my models.

Rage (detail),digital print, mixed media, 16 2ftx2ft canvases 2021. The concept of female rage in my work originally began with the exploration of my personal rage, then with the facial expressions of a silent film actress, the election of Trump, my research on the early religious origins of patriarchal female domination.
