I am exploring women’s autonomy, power, and vulnerability through oil painting and mixed-media sculpture. The figure, symbolic imagery, color, and texture visually communicate how women are taking agency over their bodies, to own their identity and sexuality without being demonized or excluded. My paintings and sculptures present bodies that are strong and poised in their sinewy musculature, provocative and bold in their eroticism, and unapologetic and self- possessed in their gaze. Creating new narratives based on ancient and contemporary stories gives way to new interpretations and reflect a truly modern sense of femininity.
