Yoga breathing and colors I experienced when practicing.
As women we have been shackled in many ways, voting being just one. My Art has always been connected to freedom. Freedom to show the female form. Freedom to express my views on our social and political climate. Freedom from family and upbringing. Freedom from the sexual stereotypes that are imposed upon us as young girls and women. Freedom to express my feelings through Painting and Sculpture.
My BODY ART series features different parts of the female torso whose shape and form inspires my work. The female body becomes the foundation upon which I build by sculptures, using textures or paint to reveal deeper meaning. My YOKED BACK series focuses on the multitude of stresses or duties a woman’s back endures. The horse harnesses represent the concept of beasts of burden. Being the Backbone of Traditional to modern families a woman’s back is not only beautiful but full of strength and resilience. California Dreaming, Suspended Koi and Peony Princess are all part of this series.
