My work is the exploration of identity, beauty, and femininity through self portraits that range in physical and emotional appearance. I am interested in how we communicate emotions with expression and personal presence. I often use distortions and invented color to exaggerate and challenge standards of behavior and beauty. These paintings explore personal feelings, while questioning today’s accepted beliefs in femininity.
