Artist Statement

I like my work to portray the current events that affect the lives of women today with humor and beauty. I depict the predicaments of women balancing motherhood and careers, but with style and grace.
My large life size paintings are still frames of what could be a glimpse into the 'film' that is a woman's life. They are comprised of everyday objects that are frequently found in households mixed with beautiful vintage clothing and accessories that I collect to create compositions of otherworldly environments.?
My smaller works are vignettes of my larger work that I consider to be my little jewels. The compositions are filled with jewels themselves and coveted objects that I and most women find essential. Makeup, dish ware, luxurious clothing with stylish shoes, all are brought together to create a medley of the feminine perspective.
