This just makes me happy to look at.
Disenchanted
12"x36" Oil on Canvas
There is a lot of symbolism in this piece, and a lot of the detail is difficult to capture in a photo. The figure represents Alice, grown and far from Wonderland, coping with reality. She holds a rose before her face to represent our inherent desire to mask the ugly truth with romanticized notions. Her dress is torn, and from it spill forth lots of little creatures; her anxieties taking form. Off to the right, mostly hidden in the sea grass, is an overturned teapot and two broken cups to symbolize that she has forgotten and neglected her past, and with it lost her ability to view the world in a magical, child-like way.
Escapepacse
18" Diameter Acrylic on Canvas
This piece discusses dreams... the upper portion being the archetypal dream of being put in a threatening situation, and suddenly finding fight and flight both failing you. The face on the left is the dreamer, speaking to herself in smoke and mirrors, so to speak. This has to do with the fundamental nature of dreams, which is our subconscious communicating with our conscious, but usually in nonsense, riddles, and symbols.
Piovra
16"x20" Mineral Eyeshadow and Spray Paint on Canvas
This was a successful experiment, mixing mineral pigment makeup with brush conditioner to create a paint body.
