ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This Image is a play on the traditional reclining female figure painted mostly by men. Countless images of women are displayed, sexualized, and evaluated for the male gaze. As she eveloved I was thinking about what has happened as I age. My role has shifted as I am now an older woman with grown children. The experiences I had as a young woman are no longer there. In many ways I am invisiable. I was also thinking about what is happening as my daughter ages and how she will navigate the world as she ventures out on her own. Is she prepared? Will her experience be the same as mine? Will things change in her lifetime? Beauty can be both a curse and a blessing. I have always drawn inspiration from my children and our relationships. All of my figures have always been amalgamations of myself and them. Very rarely does the image look like them, I think of them as placeholders, starting points so to speak, and then I let the painting take over.

Navigating the many roles I play as a Mother, a homemaker, an educator, and a woman informs my every move as an artist. Issues related to identity and ambiguity are paired with moments of calm and organic chaos. These interaction are supported by physical responses to materials. The act of pulling off paint, sanding down surfaces and constructing both two and three dimensional forms drives my process. Working this way provides great satisfaction in that each time a material is taken away, it leaves behind an inescapable residue of the former. To me this is similar to how life unfolds. Shifts in ideas, textures, colors, all interplay, lead me down a path I could never anticipate. Although I consider myself a painter’s painter, working across disciplines allows me to adapt and change. It forces me to reinvent, and reimagine how and what I am trying to say within each piece. I think the greatest factor that inform my work is physical responses to the materials I use, whether that be paint or sculptural forms, each surface holds a tension that rests between violence and protection. I find working this way yields countless opportunities for resurrection, revelation and renewal. Other aspects that relate to physicality is my repose to paint and how I have aligned my work with the figurative tradition. My work is very much about the physical process that encompasses making something tangible. Holding onto my family, loving my kids, protecting them from the violence that is the world around is my role. My paintings and sculptures are my way of making sense of the uncertainty that is life. Navigating my life as a single mother and an artist has fueled each and every move of this show. With each piece there is a sustained effort to hold on to my babies and keep them safe.
