Artist Statement:
I create large scale figure
paintings of queer-identified
women, most recently focusing
on those who have impacted my
life in some way. My work
toys with the concept of
glorification vs.
objectification vs.
modification, while
concurrently investigating the
territory between visual and
sexual enjoyment through
pattern, color and image. I
incorporate various facets of
nature in to my work in order
to comment on the mutability
of life, sex and beauty. I
have come to focus on painting
as a medium because of its
primarily masculine history in
the western art canon.
I am dedicated to my studio
practice and intend to
continue making art throughout
the course of my life, no
matter what path my career may
take. In the future, I see my
artwork marking a sexually
fluid presence and stimulating
dialogue in both the feminist
and mainstream art worlds.
I've started a new project
called Philanthropart, for
which I will begin giving 100%
of the profits from my artwork
sold to a new charity each
month. I need your help
compiling a list of charities,
organizations and non-profits
to whom I can make donations
each month. Please leave
suggestions under "contact"!!
