An Artist Stating her Statement
What I create is substantially and enormously what I'm feeling. It just happens.
Being an extremely imaginative person, an artist, and a writer, I place my feelings in a sequence of events to better understand and acknowledge them. I paint my reactions. My progress in healing from them, my process in enjoying them. I put down the nakedness of my Self, my pure emotion -- my anger, joy, pain, relief, stillness, sadness. I lay myself vulnerable to the public in hopes of connecting.
"I have felt this, have you?"
The stories I tell in my paintings are primarily from a female perspective. I explain my energy through them. Each painting describes my position in the world at that moment in time. Each is a page I've written and spilled my guts onto. For my own sake. To leak the excess inside myself and to show someone else that they aren't alone.
I've felt it, too.
