We live in a world where every single act, emotion, thought, storm, idea, and person are unique, however, we mostly walk through life with absolutes: black/white, man/woman, yes/no, love/hate. But what makes up the fabric of our society are the nuances, the confusions, ambiguities, chaos, and uncertainties. Because of this, in my work, I consider color, shape, space, material, technique, and meaning as an exploration of the harmony and conflict that exists between these elements just like the nuances in our lives, and this extends to the way we approach life. Do we respect the line, do we cross the line, or do we see every socially acceptable line a blurred line?
These questions and considerations allow me to talk about the cultural, social, sexual, and political issues in very upfront ways. The context in which I create my art is one of observation and experience within womanhood, and the inherent traumas that lesbian female gendered bodies and souls experience.
Through seeing the patriarchy that controls our world, I am able to break through with conflicting illustrative narratives with bright, colorful, and animated imagery combined with dark, provocative and emotional messages. As a mixed media artist, I push the boundaries between what was, and what can be. I incorporate digital art and media into traditional fine art to illustrate our desire to hang on to nostalgia while welcoming the inevitable technological advancements of our time.
