Waning
Artist Statement
My work focuses on the personal experience of femininity as a watchful (sometimes violent) presence. Often, the presence takes the form of a masculine shadow, a familial ghost, or versions of myself and other women. Various themes and personal symbologies float through all of my work; such as waxing and waning moons representative of the body in changing forms. My ultimate hope for my practice is to evoke memory and emotion, and for painting to act as a catalyst for love and in-depth thinking.
Walking Through

Acrylic on canvas
This work is an attempt to merge figuration and abstraction and to hide the narrative behind formal elements.
It zooms on the exaggerated wrinkles of the artist's forehead as a symbol of the uneasy flow of paths of life.
