Artist Statement
Interpreting the words of others through a visual format, I find to be a challenging, as well an exciting process to undertake whether they were written in the 21st century or thousands of years ago. My work focuses on mythological or fictional figures from stories that focus on the duality of the divine feminine and masculine, the theme of chaos and order, and fairy tales that have had a special place in my heart since childhood. These works are created with watercolors and/or gouache with backgrounds with different textures or decorative patterns inspired by historical trends in architecture, textiles, or cuisine.
