Artist Statement
Art was a means of communicating without speaking when I was young and painfully shy. Figurative elements have always found their way into my work, regardless of the subject matter. Maybe it's because for so long I struggled with body image. I was too tall, too skinny, too fat. I finally figured out that I don't have to play by the rules, that I don't have to listen to what is whispered in the ears of women everywhere. It's my hope that my work empowers women to befriend their bodies and see their own sense of beautiful.
