Artist Statement
Creating art is the way I explore my experience as a woman and what it means to live in my own skin. Through curiosity and a process driven artist practice, I strive to communicate my human experience. When I start my artwork, I first become curious, then I reflect or investigate and finally I take a creative action. Since the concept of the artwork and its discovery is often most important to me, I sometimes switch media. For example, I recently switched to painting with cold wax.
I have made this move to wax because I love the sensory experience of it, especially the feeling and smell of it. Through this media I have discovered many layers of meaning. Wax is sensual and fragile, yet durable, like my experience as a woman, and like my own skin.
