Blurbs

About me:

Intrigued by the glossy and alluring nature of high fashion and beauty advertising, and by society's embrace of this unattainable ideal, I respond with a series of paintings inspired by these images. I simultaneously build and deconstruct these icons of perfection through the layering of paint, using the original photograph as the starting point, but deviating from it with abandon. While some details from the photograph are emulated, most others dissolve into chaotic and bold abstraction. My paintings are a journey away from the illusion of perfection, allowing the viewer to see what's not supposed to be seen.
