My paintings question the way we look at feminine bodies especially in comparison to how masculine bodies are viewed. In art history, the objectification and presentation of female bodies and an accepted way to present and view them has long been prevalent, specifically as non-threatening objects of sexual desire. My work questions these long accepted practices and empowers my subjects to visually challenge the viewer.

During this past year with everything else, I felt paralyzed from moving forward-with my dreams. I had to sit with discomfort and allow everything to move at ITs own pace. After completing these dream boards, I took my own advice and moved ahead on a whim without attachment and my dream came true.

This submission is about a production I hosted for women of color! It was to inspire them and others about how confident, radiant and strong we (as women) can be! This production was to support, honor and recognize these women who have built a life of strength, confidence and success.
