is a beautiful thing. We are beautiful but also intelligent, graceful
yet strong, underestimated and overlooked but unforgettable. We may be
hurt or subjugated, but we are never broken.
It
was with this in the back of my mind that I began to paint this
semester. No matter what the physical manifestation, life
circumstances, or spirit wihin, the form of woman is a beautiful thing.
In my paintings, I have explored that form through abstraction and
color. I also worked with the ideas of icon, mystery, and ambiguity. It
is my hope that each viewer will bring a part of themselves to my
paintings. It is my intention that each person will bring to, leave
with, and get out of my work whatever it is that they need.
This series has been
a work of love for both painting and the female form. The year I worked
on this paintings was a time of great growth and healing for me. Thank
you.
