My journeys, struggles, wins and self reflections. Enjoy my process and pieces of my 2021 series, "Selfish." This series is a work in progress to come back to see the new work!
"Why Am I So Sweet? Because I Want to be Adored"
24in x 48in Acrylic, Oil on Canvas
Self-reflection. Something no one could avoid this past year. I don't know how to put this piece into words yet but I can tell you she sits in my studio and stares back at me while I type this. This work has launched me into a new conceptual trend - symbolism. She was the first of the pin-up collection. 

"Guilt is a Useless Emotion"
24in x 36in Acrylic - Sand from the Pacific
Process: Mash Pin-up series with symbolism to process emotions. 
Inspiration/Concept: What is it in your life you feel guilty for? Does your feelings of said guilt change a damn thing? No, it doesn't. So this is me putting my guilts to paper and being done with it. My choices in life are 100% my fault, but they are my own. 

"SSDGM"
24in x 18in Paper - Prismacolor Pencils and Markers
Process: Creating artistic posters with mixed drawing materials
Inspiration/Concept: There is something magnetic about poster art of the 1930's and 1940's in Europe. I wanted to create a piece that I could root in that while referencing current events. It was the very beginning of the pandemic, my soul sister had just joined me on the east coast and we were suppose to launch our careers out here. Instead, we were locked in our homes doing what we could to defeat death. Stay sexy, don't get murdered**. 
Message: Doesn't matter how great your hand is or how great your ass looks - death has the spades

"Plotting" 
Mixed Media - 4in x 10in (paper) - set of two - Framed
Process: Battling with delicate paper with a water-soluble media.
Inspiration/Concept: The calm feeling that overcomes me when the whole world is burning down around me. Where am I the most calm and what the tool society says I have to use to stop the fire - Those are the questions I asked myself and these piece was my answer. 

"Color Me Nothing"
60" X 60" Mixed Media
Process: Rediscovering process oriented creation in terms of letting the painting create itself.
Inspiration/Concept: Incorporation of past rejections as part of my current reality vs. a state of self completely void of everything that we judge our lives by. The figures absence of societal bonds such as clothes we wear, how we dye our hair... she represents pure happiness for me. I painted her only when the sun was shining and the studio doors facing the ocean could be wide open. I painted her when my heart was full. I used pieces of my past to inspire the flow of her abstracted reality. A place were I could process my feelings and emotions and let the paint grow with my understanding of that world.
Message: Let go of everything they can define you with and make your own reality
