Artist Statement: My work is representational and often figurative. Through art I attempt to invent an alternate world where life is more fierce, just and fantastical-—one that speaks for women, animals, spirituality, the marginialized and otherworldly. Emotions such as grief, anger, loneliness and euphoria motivate my subjects. There is yearning for an unknown better world, a confrontation of injustice, and an imperative to illustrate female desire from a female perspective. Exploring social taboo, innovations in cross-media and unconventional methods of presentation are central to my practice.
