“Aperson’s placid exterior often belies a riotous inner core,
and I am fascinated by the conflict between inner and out- er existence. Painting is a cunning vessel for the tension and insatiable yearning that lurks beneath the surface of what we see. My paintings portray
opposing forces, subject matter both gentle and abrasive, fantastic and real, utopian and dystopian. I present a contemporary viewpoint on femininity and feminism, self ex- pressions and self-worth.”
