Portrait of a Woman: Beyond Imagination

“Portrait of a Woman: Beyond Imagination”represents the series and an exhibition of my expansive project that emerged from my personal journey in aging. “Portrait of a Woman” project began in 2016 as I continue creating pieces.
As the largest undertaking in my art career it is an extensive venture encompassing artworks in multiple media. The origin of the project grew from my personal journey in aging, using my own face. 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 “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.
