ARTIST STATEMENT

Being in love is something that we all have or will experience. This series is about my own emotional experiences with love while searching for my soul mate. To express myself in this series is a sort of spiritual journey; these paintings are my journal entries. I see this series as not only narratives about my own personal experiences, but as a universal experience that most of us share.

The work is comprised of mainly self-portraits. I’m creating a monologue from the woman to the man. There are symbols in each painting that have meaning, for example, the flowers represents beauty and love. Also, in certain paintings I use the insect to represent the man.
