My abstract portraits of the human body become a process of healing, through which I am entranced by the distinct lines and shadows and creases and folds and the sensuality and life that they evoke. The emotional substance of the portraits become the heart of the work itself, expressed though its blend of colors and shadows, blurring the lines between what is known and what is not. My design process is an exploration of the ephemeral effects stitching has on my compositions, portraying the complex, delicate and sometimes invisible connections that hold our personal relationships together. Conveying a celebration of life and combining the papery thin fragility of its stature, my pieces mediate between concepts of life and death, the beautiful and grotesque and the mystery that lies behind the relationship between my pain at the loss of people I love and my celebration of living and those who have lived.
