"Womanizer"

The edges of the painting are painted red to highlight the red legs.

Title: "Womanizer"
Size: 40x40"
Medium: Mixed media

 With this piece I wanted to highlight the different ways that woman are portrayed in the media. Therefore the black and white photos in the background of the piece are cut outs from various different fashion magazines over the past three years. I pasted the photos into a collage on the large canvas in creative and interesting ways to create intrigue when the images are looked at individually. Then to create unity within the piece and highlight the overall theme I painted the large high-heeled red legs. I chose the color red because it's harsh and pops next to the black and whites. It also brings an intensity to the piece.

Bodysuit

TITLE: "Bodysuit"
SIZE: 11x15in
MEDIUM: Pen 



This piece was inspired by my home town- Portland, Oregon. The art of tattooing is very big in Portland and a lot of people can be seen on the street flashing their body art.
 I also wanted to incorporate a lot of different aspects and styles. Things that can be found in the photo include a mermaid, superman symbol, black widow, rose, paisley, dream catcher, snake, bones, city, cobwebs, skull, cherries and so much more.
I also included the quote, "The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die and you to live. Which is the better, only God knows," by Socrates below the right breast. I think that this quote is very meaningful and can be translated a lot of different ways. Therefore I included it to invoke thought and add depth to the overall meaning of the piece.
This piece is not framed but is a standard size, therefore it would be easy to find a frame in any craft store.

Polka-dot Puffs

Title: "Polka-dot Puffs"
Size: 12x12in

This painting was inspired by the artwork in comic books. I wanted the smoke to look very exaggerated and to make the background look like a comic book print I painted pink dots on top of the red. I am also a huge fan of everything old fashioned and therefore I had the woman smoking out of a cigarette pipe, and painted her hair to make it look like she has pin curls. I used acrylic paint for the whole thing.
Like all of my artwork, this is a one-of-a-kind original. The edges are painted black so there is no need to frame this piece, it can be hung as is.

Work in progress

TITLE: soon to be announced
SIZE: 42x42
MEDIUM: paper/ acrylic

This is my latest work in progress. The background is a collage of B&W photos of women that I cut out of various fashion magazines. The purpose of this piece is to highlight the ways that women are portrayed in magazines and in the media. I plan on painting the two legs a bright red to contrast the B&W

Life's A Beach

TITLE: "Life's A Beach"
SIZE: 12x12
MEDIUM: watercolor/ Acrylic
PRICE: Negotiable

I really wanted to experiment with color and tissue paper in this piece. I love the colors associated with a sunset and therefore decided to go that route. The tissue paper was placed on top of the water color and soaked up the color in a really fun and interesting way , adding depth to the entire piece. On top of the tissue paper I then added fine gold detailing to add depth to the tissue paper and painted the sand and beach ball. I wanted to create a stark contrast between the sunset and the beach ball and sand. Therefore I used very playful and popping colors for the ball. YAY FOR EXPERIMENTING!

"I Can Do That!"

The idea to make my own trash can came to me in "Bed Bath and Beyond". I saw a woman purchasing a trash can that was made out of magazines and I thought to myself, I can do that! That day I went home and started ripping page after page out of my old magazines. After hours of folding, weaving and gluing, this was the result.
