THE WOMEN
My style emanates from an exploration of the theme of women in our world as icons and monoliths, while simultaneously existing as life channels and even decorative objects. I depict images of women alone, women with infants, and women with women. I pay close attention to the moods of the women, while using a bold approach to my chosen medium, usually recycled materials with mixed media collages or oils on canvas.
The themes of women in society interest me greatly, how they can exist as axes around which many lives turn and angels on which many people depend, while maintaining a calmness, a control which most often goes unrecognized. I am interested in depicting the pensiveness, the satisfaction, and the other-worldliness this can give to women.
These depictions of figures and faces are done in a contemporary style, with a fearless approach to color, shape, and line.
