BIOGRAPHY
A brief introduction...
I grew up moving from
place to place but consider myself a good “Southern Girl” from Baton
Rouge, Louisiana where much of my family still resides. I now
live with my own family in the Seattle, WA area. I received my B.A.
from the University of Washington in 2001 and have been painting
free-lance for private collectors and gallery shows ever since.
ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
I paint pin-ups because
I love all things beautiful and enjoy the same sense of playful
sensuality that I found in the old pin-up masters' works such as
Elvgren. I love nothing better than a good giggle and eyebrow
raise when looking at an artwork and I strive to achieve the same
result in my works.
I think it is wonderful
to be a woman and celebrate my femininity through my artwork.
I believe that what makes a woman beautiful lies not only on the
outside, but must also radiate from the inside. Therefore, I find
my favorite subjects to paint are those women whose distinct
personalities I already know or can easily see in their photos.
Often it is not your run of the mill super model that elicits a
physical or emotional response but rather, the woman you see in your
local coffee shop. The mere fact that they are "real" and
attainable makes their image more seductive and personal. All
of the women that I paint, including myself, are women who truly
exist in the world (looking their best of course). They are
soft and supple, opinionated and bitchy, inviting and compassionate,
strong and smart. Most of all, they are not victims but
instead, proud and unashamed of their femininity.
To me, that is the
ultimate form of feminism.
I hope you enjoy my
artwork as much as I enjoy creating it!
