Artist Statement
I focus on painting figures who are simultaneously revealed and veiled. Missing pieces, hidden images, and vacancies confront the ongoing behavior of dismissing female identity and perspective. As a mother, I am confronted by my own matrilineal misinformation, and my work engages myths of femininity, medicine, motherhood, and religion to expose the historical subjugation of women by imposing absurd ideals of beauty and behavior.
