Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" is one of the most important portrayals of beauty and love since antiquity. "Venus de Milo" is another representation of Aphrodite that transcends time and expresses the brokenness of beauty with both of her arms removed. Even in this vulnerable and rare form – she remains "beautiful" and "whole." The duality of both representations balances the subjective nature of beauty – this balance between perfection and brokenness. Without this balance, understanding true beauty is flat and bland. In the modern world, beauty goes beyond aesthetics. Beauty endures pain, grief, heartache and illness and not even Venus herself – can escape or mask herself from these facets of life.

“Earth as being, personification of her.”

My latest piece, inspired by the immaculate power of Mother Nature. The fine line between her magnitude of lushness vs. the fiery depths of her destruction.

Woman herself.

Nature as a whole.

The “be still.” series explores concepts of self-discovery, awakening to the Higher Self, and obtaining inner-stillness through meditation and daily spiritual practices.

My personal, spiritual journey has influenced this shift towards stillness in my work, due to the influx of distraction in our society today.

Exploration of impasto knife techniques and a focus on small details while peeling away the layers beneath — represent the act of meditation in itself.

We create our own realities.
We keep ourselves bounded by limiting beliefs, past experiences, and current emotions.

The ice cube = our incubator.
What we believe surrounds us and therefore influences our environment.

The hot air balloon = the dream.
We are frozen still, based off of our thoughts.

We think we are stuck.
Frozen still,
But ice melts.

America is... choice. The way that I layer the canvases on top of one another mirrors the way that the United States government covers up realities for women in our country today. The growing control that the government is beginning to have over women’s bodies, sparks a fire within the roots of my work. As a young woman, the ability to choose to come out about my own sexuality a few years ago has helped me to empathize with a woman’s choice to choose a life for herself. Putting control on reproductive rights slashes a deep cut in gender equality and the power that a woman has over her own body. This wound-like, slicing cut is described through the peel-back layers of canvas and political symbolism. By removing her rights, she loses a part of herself, symbolized by the government in place of where her reproductive organs are.

Paintings inspired by an identity shift that I have experienced/am currently experiencing/will forever experience throughout my life. I am learning that we are ever-changing beings that adapt and grow every second. We must be gentle and kind to ourselves. It is mind-blowing how different we all are and the importance of accepting our internal truths. We must live lives that we cherish and follow our intuitive motives. This series was inspired by the thoughts swirling constantly and moving to a new place (here.) But most of all, I am inspired by the sea, by its ferocious, gentle, calm turbulence; for it reflects all of us, and allows us to experience the inner depths of ourselves.

Art inspired by other artists and their internal struggles. My ability to create visualizations of their lives through symbolism and empathy.
