About The Artwork
I based this piece on this interpretation of little red riding hood… “Red Riding Hood has also been seen as a parable of sexual maturity. In this interpretation, the red cloak symbolizes the blood of the menstrual cycle, braving the “dark forest” of womanhood. Or the cloak could symbolize the hymen (earlier versions of the tale generally do not state that the cloak is red). In this case, the wolf threatens the girl’s virginity. The anthropomorphic wolf symbolizes a man, who could be a lover, seducer or sexual predator. This differs from the ritual explanation in that the entry into adulthood is biologically, not socially, determined." I have been yearning to do a little red riding hood piece for awhile but could never think of anything I felt would convey the mixed signals of this fairy tale…innocence, sexuality, womanhood… Media Used: pastels, charcoal, on Mi-Teintes paper 12 × 16

"Reality is what binds me to this world, my art is what sets me free..." I am a graphic designer by trade and fine artist at heart. A full-time college student at The Art Institute of New York City, I am earning my degree in Graphic Design. I am known as an obsessed designer and a compelled artist. I have enjoyed painting and drawing for the past two years. My media of choice; pastels and charcoal. I adore how this dry media enables me to have a hands on experience. Being able to intergrate myself through touch, feeling the paper through the pastels as it guides me. It becomes a very intimate moment in time painting with pastels... Though few can have such an appreciation. I seek inspiration from such great pastel artists such as, Schiele, Munch, and Monet. Their beautiful distortions of the human figure and emotions, I cannot help but be enthralled with.
