Artist Statement

The unadorned women in my work are portrayed in quiet moments of domesticity and reflection. This series evolved from my interest in traditions and routines that are universal to mornings and evenings. This is when a woman’s multifaceted roles are put in suspension. Makeup is applied or washed away, hair is tamed, contacts and glasses interchanged, wrinkles and blemishes inspected and internal conversations flow.

Ideas and symbols representing femininity, motherhood, childhood, growth and change appear in my work. My intent is for the figures portrayed to invoke a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of Woman, Mother, Child, Sister, Partner and Wife.
