New York City-based artist.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I was born hungry to understand the human mind and body. My yearnings never stopped. My childhood exploration of life began with studying The Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, which evolved into drawing the body both inside and out—my daily ritual.
One of my favorite questions is, “What is life without our bodies?” Freud said, the ego is first and foremost a bodily ego. The fact that the body carries us through life is often thought of as a miracle.
I work with live nude figures to embrace natural life and witness the model’s humanness in unique poses. I also draw upon my memory as a database of emotions, observations, sensations, objects and living creatures. I use line like an umbilical cord, an organic gesture to fuse, exaggerate and dissect form by drawing from a sensitive pulse within my psyche. I embrace and enjoy the uniqueness of all perceptions, offering that viewers take these images into their own fantasy lives, creating individual associations and meanings.
