My work focuses on transparency, texture, and unsettling color. Appropriating explicit imagery from
\nfilms, music videos, as well as art diaries and photographic archives, I then invert the image\u2019s traditional
\ncolor to assert an emotive, horror-driven scene. My paintings exist in a world that should not exist, thus
\nchallenging the viewer as well as the male-gaze. Oil paint, canvas and wood panels are merely vehicles
\nfor me to channel the intimate complexities that I wish to present. I gather inspiration from the likes of
\nWilhelm Sasnal and Marlene Dumas, whose paintings contain an air of mystery, with sinister
\nundertones. Though my imagery is often from film, I paint from my individual experiences of catholic
\nguilt and unwarranted sexualization in vulnerable situations; thus the content in my paintings exploit
\ninherent femininity as a weapon as well as a flaw. So, acknowledging traditionally female archetypes
\nthrough a veil that questions one\u2019s own mindset, my paintings exist to be submersed, a world that is
\nemotive and uncomfortable, like our own.<\/p>\n
