Body Language IV

Oil on Belgian linen
I aim to address the complexities of
contemporary female representation and experiences through figurative
painting. My works explore the relationship between myself as an artist, my
role as a daughter, as a woman and a mother, thereby investigating female
agency within society. I am interested in the multiple versions of constructed
identities required of women today and how, in each role and relationship,
a woman may behave differently in response to each situation. I use my
own subjective experience as an anchor to depict how strength, capability
and achievement can share a voice within these societal constructs.
