About the artist
I am currently a watercolor painter who is known for her contemporary yet abstract paintings that have recently captured the world through the lens of portraits. My complex, manic mindset is complemented by the way I douse my subjects for the world to see. My paintings summon a quizzical, even intriguing, emotional response. The personal edge that I bring to each painting alters and enhances raw subject matter that will leave a mark on your soul forever.
It would be nice if my paintings could do all the talking, but occasionally I need to find the willpower to use my words. As an artist specializing in painting, I want the images I paint to be the headliner that stands out and shines. I recognized it when I painted my first portrait, "Unearth." Capturing an individual's appearance and personality through a painting is raw and magical. It is that ability to depict not only the physical but also psychological characteristics. There is something satisfactory in that process of observation (maybe even masturbatory – of course, in the symbolic sense of this word). Nevertheless, I chose to paint these images because they speak to me on levels that dig so deeply into me that they have become part of me.
