About The Artwork

Oil on Masonite 50 x70 cm I took inspiration from “Susanna and Her Elders” by Artemisia Gentileschi. We both lived in Florence Italy and I have always taken inspiration from her life and her work. I also took inspiration from a photo I took in a museum. There were numerous battles during WW1 and WW2 in the Vicenza's foothills. In the basement of the "Taverna degli Alpini" in Bassano del Grappa there is a military shrine/museum for the tens of thousands of Italian and Austrian soldiers who fell during the wars. The guns in the painting are from that museum. Guns that fought in a war. Guns that killed and perhaps guns that saved lives. Guns that have a tragic story. Those guns are coming toward and away from Susanna from the biblical story Susanna and her Elders.

American artist living in Frankfurt, Germany. Her work investigates our place within the wider cultural and emotional landscape focusing on identity, memory, nostalgia, and narratives as well as connections to others and place.

Her subjects are frequently depicted in solitary, social and spiritual situations.
