Sainthood

“Sainthood” is one creation in my expansive project that emerged from a personal journey in aging.
"Sainthood" encompasses many of the themes in the larger project, as well as concepts about spirituality, suffering, female life and fortitude.
The "Portrait of a Woman" project began in 2016 and continues with artworks currently . It is a n extensive project producing artworks in multiple media. The origin of the project grew from my personal journey in aging. Pieces use 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.
