My paintings represent a lived
experience. They convey the intensity and rawness of the body
and mind, a terrain representative of an aggressive, physical,
and vulnerable space of loss, struggle, and resilience. The
work is agitated and raw.
Figurative and landscape elements
are juxtaposed against an abstract vocabulary of muscled brushwork,
scraping, and textured fabrics that together tell an honest
and at times cryptic story. The thin and thick paint compliment
energetic mark making and scrawled text. The colors and palette
used throughout the work is expressive and at times symbolic.
The imagery and marks build upon each other from painting
to painting. Creating a visual language identifying a visceral
female existence.
