My work can be described as a conglomerate of distinct female experiences. I draw from both my personal as well as the collective experience. Identifying as a woman carries undue baggage, leaving us more susceptible to acts of violence, disrespect, and social injustice as compared to our male counterparts. I focus on themes within female experience in order to bring awareness to significant women’s issues such as sexuality, sexualization, and the resulting abuse and sexual violence.

In exploring themes within female experience, my process largely includes transforming my own body into an instrument to paint with, which allows me to be author and subject rather than just, historically speaking, the object of sexualization. The representations of body prints in my work are used as symbols of self-ownership, and the fragmented nature of the prints themselves reference the way women are viewed as a collection of pieces rather than a complete whole in our society. Every piece I make is a peek inside this darker sub-world in which women are subjugated to live.
