Who You Are. Who They Want You To Be Available

IMG_7222.jpg

My paintings create a place for bodies to just exist- exceptionally, without fear, judgement or ridicule.

The figure in my paintings is the protagonist of this ongoing story of emergence and growth. she is you, she is me. She is anyone who needs to see themselves in a new light; who need to be reminded of who they are and not what the world wants them to be.

Sometimes the world paints us in colors, in roles, that make us forget who we are.

She shows you it is okay to just, be you.
