Confidence

When I started this series of paintings, I wanted to capture character traits of women. There is a mystery surrounding women. Their eyes, their emotions, their strength, their softness. Beauty mixed with pain. Serenity in times of struggle. Stepping up to do what needs to be done. 

I wanted these paintings to evoke emotion. I wanted the viewer to truly connect with each painting, not as a portrait, because these works are not portraits. I wanted the viewer to connect with the embodiment of what I admire most in women- strength, dignity, courage, confidence, grace, wisdom, resilience, balance.

We have a long line of inspiring, courageous ladies that have shaped our past and contributed greatly to our future. It is my desire to inspire other women each and every day and to encourage them in their passions and creative pursuits.  As you view this new series of paintings, my hope is that you will see a bit of yourself in these women or a character trait of a woman in your life.
