About The Artwork
Giftedness in a child is a skill that is significantly higher than in other children of the same age. Initially the focus was on intellectual giftedness, but has been expanded with a multitude of capacities. Gifted children often develop asynchronously - their minds are often ahead of their physical growth, and specific cognitive and emotional functions are often at different stages of development. Giftedness is also often unevenly distributed across the different intellectual spheres. Thus, a person may qualify as gifted with exceptional math skills, yet be below average in spelling or verbal skills. This expressionist artwork is made up of a drawing of a girl's face, overlaid with layers of previously made acrylic paintings. The layers are pieces of my collages and paintings that I have overlaid with Photoshop.

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially water colors, was “a large victory” for me . The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.”My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful possible way to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
