Artist Statement

I am continually fascinated by the beauty and sensuality of the nude body and the strangeness of the human psyche. My work is heavily connected to my sense of self and my own feelings about my body. I take the frustration and pain from my disability and use it to fuel my inspiration and explore further the body's weaknesses and strengths

My themes expand from my different explorations of body and self. I paint with strong lines and rich curves. I work continually to explore the connections between anatomy and external beauty and the sensuousness of the curves that interrelate. I mostly paint in oils as I love the richness and flexibility of the medium.
