FLOWER BEING Painting

I create as means for expression of the female psyche, the exploration of eroticism and the search for freedom through sexuality as a way to counteract the female oppression. My objects are inspired by the tropical exuberance that has always surrounded me and accompany me thru my becoming. I examine forms of nature, especially flowers and their relationship with the erotic and creative energy, using colors, layers, and aggressions to the canvas. I have been inclined to use paint in because of a fascination that I have since I was a child, with colors and visual aesthetics. I also experiment with knits and fabrics because I am passionate about the geometry and the symbolism present in the techniques used historically by women. I have a need to connect with people and contribute in some way to these obsessions.
