About The Artwork

My direct environment has always been my source of inspiration as I would like my art to make you marvel at our world, and its daily simplicity, humor, and beauty. This is a portrait of my daughter Charlotte who happily posed for me in the studio. I painted this portrait and a portrait of her sister in the same style simultaneously. In theater the term Slice of Life indicates a naturalistic representation of real life. In anime and manga, it refers to a genre that often parallels teen melodrama in addition to using slice-of-life narrative techniques. A fitting title for a teenager portrait! At the core of my work is an exploration of the tension between opposite concepts, like the symmetry of geometric patterns and the fluidity of the figure, transparency and solidity, reality and imagination. I love experimenting with different media (acrylic, watercolor, ink, graphite...) following the pull of my curiosity, although supported by a rigorous and traditional approach. This portrait of my daughter allowed me to explore the incorporation of elements of classical drawing into a painting. This exploration is found very often in my works. In this case, the figure has been drawn with graphite on canvas and the rest of the painting has been done in acrylics. The patterning has been patiently hand drawn and gives this painting a look reminiscent of fabric or paper collage. Like a tightrope walker, I find pleasure in exploring the in-between space where reality meets fantasy. My subjects, even though rooted in realism, often display a splash of the unreal, the unexpected or the whimsical.

Landscapes, florals and life drawings in mixed media. Meticulously hand drawn patterns are added over west coast forests and floral still lives in a unique mix of semi abstract and Art Nouveau influences. Real people in all their diversity and imperfection deserve to be the subject of fine art and I would like my art to help people, and in particular women feel confident, proud, valued and accepted as they are. I work from drawings made in life drawing classes with inspiring and diverse models. Nature series Forest: Many visitors comment that my forest paintings make them feel relaxed and are capturing how it feels to be in the west coast rain forest. In most of these paintings, time is made visible with repetitive lines, detailed patterns or scribbles that mark seconds like a metronome. I like to think there is value in spending time making something that has no other use than being looked at, being devoted to the creative play and making that time tangible on the canvas. This is very much in opposition to how time is perceived in our society where there is a lot of pressure for efficient time management. Flowers: My flower paintings series are all made from imagination and I want them to add a touch of brightness, color and joy that will light up a room.
