Celebrating Women's Resilience Through Art
In my latest work,I draw inspiration from the remarkable women’s resilience. “All The Hats We Wear” series is my response to how we, as women are wearing all the different hats throughout life situations without even pausing to question. It is in out nature, no matter of the momental state of mind-we are all resiliant and stronger that we think. I use photography as a starting point in my creation where i capture face expretions of my subjects. Later, in my paintings i give them life and embrice their emotional intensity with color and abstract movement. And I am looking forward to experiment with a diverse range of mediums in to creating sight specific instalations that will inspire conversation. As I embark on this journey, my work fervent desire to pay homage to the multifaceted nature of womanhood.
