"Heart Attack" - Ward Nasse Gallery, March 2009
From an Aorta to a candy Heart there are many ways to say "I Love You." Through my series "Heart Attack" I explore the many sides of love, happiness, friendship, relationships, sex, and human emotion. I take the viewer on this powerful journey using a heart of some form in each and every piece. What better symbol then a heart to convey a feeling? I manipulated and stretched the image as far as I could; leading the viewer to have an open interpretation of what each piece meant to them personally. It is the brightest and most positively themed series I have ever done. |

"Call Me Crazy" - Ward Nasse Gallery, April 2008
My inspiration for “Call me Crazy” was the idea that if a woman is strong or different she is automatically called “Crazy.” All fifteen portraits are of women I find interesting , inspiring and powerful. They all have challenged the status-quo and because of that were deemed “crazy”- and sometimes for the right reasons. But what I really want to do is shatter the “Crazy” label. I am so sick and tired of that word being thrown around at any girl that is emotional, raw, intense or quirky. That’s why I included a self portrait in the series, I am not a stranger to this name calling! I really feel like we should celebrate the fact that women can be strange and chaotic- thats what makes them beautiful and courageous. When looking at my entire series I want the viewer to try to see the women portrayed as something other then just their “craziness” Each one of us is multi-layered and through this series I try to peal back every petal of personality. |

"She's A Lady" - Ward Nasse Gallery, February 2007
When I did my series “She’s a Lady” I was really looking to capture the inside of a woman's’ heart and mind. I wanted the pieces to be chaotic, pretty and scary, happy and sad- all the emotions we go through on an average day. I wasn't concerned with perfection- it was more about capturing an emotion in time- a flash of thought. I used vibrant colors with dark imagery to shock and confuse the viewer. |
