“Blue.Period.” is one creation in an expansive project that emerged from my personal journey in aging. This interesting piece created using my self portrait and a flowering kale includes many of the themes of the larger "Portrait of a Woman" project as well as those about transformation and evolution. She is available in this large canvas print as well as in the smaller "Evolutions" canvas pieces.
“Portrait of a Woman” is a n extensive project encompassing artworks in multiple media. The origin of the project grew from my personal journey in aging. Pieces incorporate my face with natural elements. After six years now the pieces in this collection include canvas, metal and paper prints as well as a few small experimentations. The project began in 2016 and continues with artworks currently .
The “Portrait of a Woman” series, is produced digitally with iPhone and iPad. Unflinchingly, I capture my face as well as surrounding elements - trees, water, plants and structures. I turn my iPhone toward myself, as aging woman blending my image with the natural environment. I explore a myriad of approaches melding the captured world with my own image coupling my likeness with titles, poetry, quotes, personal stories and beliefs. Each fused image builds new meanings transforming to offer a greater message.
