Figures & Flowers

Artist Statement

This portfolio explores my first interest in art- the ego of the figure & self. My introduction to art was through the religious statuary that my family made to sell at flea markets. White plaster reproductions of anonymous faces taking identities as deities was impressionable. These works are a constant pursuit of skill and draftsmanship while exploring figures & flowers in open space, remnants of the whiteness of  those plaster sculptures.

Projects

Zoom Figures 2020-2022

Due to COVID live figure groups closed to the public. Some remained indefinitely closed while others were able to shift to a virtual setting, via Zoom. Similarly, the exhibit opportunities in markets and galleries went to an online setting as well- therefore I found myself in an opportunity to create work with the purpose of solely virtual exhibition. These works were created through Procreate, simulating the drawing pen/pencils I would use before.

Ballpoint pen

Availability and convenience; my chosen medium for these works is ball point pen.   In the manner that it is a known mark making tool, these common materials give way to accessibility by others. These works took place from live modeling sessions and photographs.
