Current Gallery: ourladyoftherosesunveiling ( piece)
I create bold, expressive, large format, figurative oil paintings, rich in content with strong archetypal images. Mystery, Symbol, Dream, Raw Vision, Soul Food, using the body as metaphor to address the human psyche. Purpose Statement: My art is transformative, in the making and in the viewing. It is a portal into a deeper, more related, sensually and spiritually empowered self. My work affects receptive viewers, connecting them with their creativity, primal wisdom and sensual delight in life. Goal:"To utilize the profound emotional impact of art to inspire the viewer to become more actively engaged in the global struggle to reverse climate change." “Our Lady of the Roses” Series: 2008 Is Meant to represent the essence of a divine healing realm. Some of the pieces are large, expressive rose images. Others also have mythological figures or heads of ancient statues surrounded by roses. "Unveiling" Series: 2009 Was Created at a time when the image of veiled women was becoming more visible in our daily lives, this continues the dialog of how we are veiled by circumstance, society, religion or fear. We limit and veil ourselves for modesty, mystery and protection. Dreamers Series: 2005 Suspended in a dream state, the figures in the Dreamers series are in various stages of cocooning and unwrapping, surrounded by abstracted ribcages. Usually working in series, when I employ a reoccurring image, like the ribcage or roses, for example, I choose them for their literal and visual presence, and equally for what they symbolize. I use the ribcage for its butterfly-like shape, and its function as a cage for the heart. Simultaneously, it symbolizes the essential, the bare bones, as well as what remains behind.
