Renaissance Painting

ARTIST'S STATEMENT: Seen together, my paintings tell a story on femininity, from soft and melancholic to vibrant and passionate. Echoes of the subconscious waft through the work. Sometimes visible, sometimes obscured, birds, animals, and plants embody symbols found in mythology or stories stored in the collective unconscious. I see my work as a celebration of women and life. I work mostly in layers - both physical layers on the pieces and interior layers such as memory, emotion and hope, surrendering to the materials and the process, iteratively engaging with the painting until its completion.
