About Me
🕑 Added 2023-01-26 17:10:19 +0000 UTCI'm an emerging female artist who is seeking help in getting my work out there. My medium is the nude human form and nature. I'm looking for opportunities with museums, galleries, portfolio reviews, PR, art fairs, publications, books, any connection to get my work seen by the right people as we live in vast physical and digital landscapes that are oversaturated on all ends. I have so much work and eternal passion. I am seeking spaces / places to share and learn. There are so many options and outlets, it is hard to know where to start and how to invest in reviews / applications. Every person from every walk of life has responded to my work with EXTREME enthusiasm, sometimes tears, joy, ecstasy. I just need to meet the right person / be in the right place at the right time… which has already happened, which I am so grateful for, but I’m welcoming in more of that for financial purposes and reasons associated with personal goals around getting my art out into the world. I am making work similar to Ryan McKinley, Mapplethorp, Raphael Mazzucco and Peter Beard. I’ve also drawn early inspiration from Marco Glaviano, Mario Testino and Robert Rouschenberg. As much as I admire their work, it is always the male gaze. I'm coming into my creations with the female gaze, dancing with the camera and paint, walking a fine line of acceptance as I dive into the topics and duality of innocence versus sexuality, life, death, liberation, and so much more.
