Artist Statement
I specialize in painting, especially portraiture and large-scale figurative compositions. My work focuses on the human condition portraying women of all generations, ethnicities and socioeconomic levels. In this series, I incorporate the female form to serve as an iconic symbol. These hybrid beings (part human / part mannequin) reveal a parallelism with cultural ideals. Their clone-like appearance suggests a culture that persuades its members to conform. In Bariatric Pressure, the mannequins are encased in a “stapled” digestive organ, and in Great Expectations, as specimens in Petri dishes to create a statement of society’s ongoing struggle with self-image.
