ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Amazons were a race of woman warriors, related to the Iranian people. In Greek classical art, the Amazon warriors are depicted doing battle side-by-side with men, particularly in Trojan War imagery. Part of their legend: to better steady bows and draw arrows across their chest, mothers removed their daughters right breast. Here is an bewitching body cast of a petite and powerful woman that has been sculpted with intention of conveying sensuality, brutality, antiquity and timelessness. Waxed and tinted Italian gesso sculpture mounted on 20 x 17 brown velvet background. My work is narrative and involves telling stories about humanity, divinity, violence and time. The friction is an assumed linear progression and the discovery of a shared path: the same desires, quests, visuals and conflicts happen over and over again.

My art follows the female form through time, culture, history and myth. Since my early school days I decided it was rather upsetting that in history books, there were no stories about women. Consequently I devoted myself --from the beginning of my consciousness and creativity - to bring the stories and images of women to the forefront in my art and writing. I am interested in their beauty, strength, ability to spring back, courage and playfulness. The women in my extended family were no-nonsense ladies who all worked. I had good teachers. I am a multi-disciplined artist: I write, sculpt, print and paint. Most all of my work is done with paper.
