been painting for over thirty years. Her love of portraiture and
costume naturally combine to help her create one of a kind images of
characters from plays, stories and imagination. From her earliest years
reading fairy tales over and over to her degree in Medieval English
Literature from Oglethorpe University, her fascination with characters
and costumes is deeply ingrained and well researched. Work on both
sides of the stage in theatre, film and modeling helped cement her love
of dressing up everyone and everything around her. With works shown
throughout the Southeast, she can be found in many local festivals,
whether Medieval, Scottish or Fantasy. Artist's StatementSpeak to any artist for any length of time and you begin to understand that the world looks different through our eyes. In a flash, the colors of waves become mesmerizing and a sprig of mint becomes a masterpiece. More importantly, the connections between the waves, the mint and you as a piece of the universe suddenly spring into focus. My art is my expression of belief, the lessons I have learned. On Portraiture: Through portraits I strive to capture the spirit of a subject's persona, expressing the magic of stepping into another place and time. Paintings should capture a moment in time. They should take you
somewhere else and show you something you haven't seen before.
Portraits should not only show you what a person looks like, they
should show you a piece of who a person is. |
