The Emerging Goddess
So excited to be exhibited this new body of work. This is a new direction for me in my Goddess series. While a very uncomfortable journey, painting the female face, I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone to create these beauties. The show us up and looks amazing! Opening is this Friday the 23rd from 6-9pm at THE LOFT ARTISTS ASSOCIATION in Stamford, CT.
Where Do I Go From Here?
I am really feeling the Goddess direction. Creating pieces using acrylic and decorative paper and found objects is exciting. Still following my intuitive nature, I never have a definite path but just allow the female form to create itself.
FUN, Explorative, Fierce, Imaginative, Meaningful and Important are just a few words to describe the development of this work. Collaging old books that have spoken to me throughout the years underneath as a sort of underpainting or foundation. Allowing layers of color, paint, and paper to build upon itself to create depth and a visual journey throughout the story of her emergence.
This body of work is a new direction that I had no idea would happen. I am excited to continue to explore the subject of the female portrait and can’t wait to allow my process to grow and develop. The landscapes are still there and I return to them from time to time – but this allows me o really explore and that’s is how I define myself as an artist.
