statement
My aim is to paint simply. Apply east brush strokes. Emphasize light and shadow and the dynamics between the subject and the background. I choose varied subject matter to convey the concept of feminist with simplicity, natural beauty and inspiration. Women, our beloved animals, flowers and Mother Earth symbolize the essential power of creation in our world. They interact with an intentionally sensuous dance that expresses the process of fertility and reproduction, strength and compassion. My art explores the drama, texture and wonder of this creative process.
