ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Using found paper mounted onto wood cradle board, I initially intended to use general shapes within the found paper to begin painting. Using the addition of charcoal stick into oil paint, instead of using a brush, I moved the paint around with the charcoal stick. The transitions of the paint surface really appeals to me, as well as the simple stark contrast of colors. Although my affinity is to see a figure in all of my work; such as in this work of a bent over figure, I really like the strength and simplicity of the composition.

I'm fascinated by the essence of painting itself—its process, how the paint moves on the canvas, and the vivid expressiveness of colors and textures that create a tangible and emotional bridge between my work and the viewer. The layers of paint invite you into a world of sensation and meaning that's yours to interpret. My approach often involves revisiting and reworking the canvas, much like the way relationships evolve and renew over time. My art reflects my journey—my introspections, connections with others, and, fundamentally, my relationship with painting itself. Human figures frequently emerge in my work, symbolizing the universal experiences of emotion, values, encounters, and the passage of time. These figures capture fleeting moments, bridging the present with the memory of a distant, earlier self. While I play with the balance between reality and imagination, I also embrace the unpredictable, using it to capture your attention and keep you engaged. A recurring theme in my work is visibility, particularly reflecting on my identity as a woman navigating a phase of life that often feels overlooked by society. It's this struggle for visibility, for recognition, that resonates through my art, connecting with viewers on a profoundly personal level.
