Artist Statement:
Art is something that is intensely personal. When I am creating a new art piece, I am putting a piece of my soul out there for all to see. I try to tell a story with my work - it's not enough to just create a "pretty picture." Art should make you think, make you wonder, make you feel something. It should be an experience, just as it is an experience for the artist to create that piece. That need to create, that desire to say what is in one's soul...that is what drives the artist.
I like to portray strong women in my work, women who look as though nothing will hold them back, that they can do the impossible. I know the joy of flying after having my own wings clipped for so long, and my dearest hope is to reach someone who takes that little spark of the imagination she sees in my work, turns it to her own life, and makes it just a bit better than it was yesterday.

Artist Statement:
These are photographs that I've wanted to make for a long time.
Although my early ideas of what they might be were nothing like what they became.
It took a certain model, a certain woman, and a long path to make them what they are, something out of my dreams, or, perhaps, my nightmares, but existing only in the shared imagination of two artists. I've always appreciated the human form, both in art and as art. The shapes and forms that emerge with the abstraction of the body created by the body make-up create a sense of power contained within the softness of the figure, played out against the coarseness and hardness of the man-made objects.
The curves of the rope echoing the curves of the body.
The cold hardness of the chain revealing the strength of the body.
The linearity of the chair and ladder contrasting the suppleness of the figure, belying both time and age.
