Surreal Contemporary Paintings
This short series touches on some of issues the we, as humans deal with in silence. Such as: insecurities, fears, struggles with spirituality, and frustrations with some of the people who surround us.
The piece on the left is titled: The Difference. It is in a private collection. The original painting is 16"x16" Oil on Stretched Canvas.
This piece was created after an argument with my husband. It represents an issue that most, or all of us are guilty of. We hear when people are talking, but sometimes we don't really listen to what they are saying. This is not just an issue with married couples. It also applies to friends, family and even in some cases complete strangers.
My Insecure Vanity
16"x20" Original Oil & Acrylic On Canvas Painting
The piece on the right is titled: My Insecure Vanity. It is in a private collection. The original painting is 16"x20" Acrylic & Oil on Stretched Canvas. This piece is a self portrait, I completed as the ball fell on new years eve 2002&3. I did not celebrate the new year that year, I just kept painting.
Fallen
22"x28" Original Oil on Canvas Painting
Available (Will Update Soon)
We all struggle with our faith. I am no different. Though I am a devout Catholic, I still give into temptation. I did this painting when I was having some issues with the church. I had felt like I had fallen from grace. ( Which I thought would never, ever happen) I think a lot of people deal with this as I get many comments on this piece. We have to remember though, that can always pick ourselves up and carry our crosses again!
Prisoner To Fear
16"x20" Original Acrylic Mosaic Painting
I have a lot of fears that hold me back from doing what I would love to do. For instance, driving on an interstate. I am 35 years old and am still afraid of doing it! It holds me back, and keeps me from being free to do what I want. As if in Prison.
"I find my art is an outlet to deal with many of life ups and downs. Some of my more meaningful pieces, I would like for people to connect with them. Some how in the same way as music; to see that they are not the only ones who deal with life's struggles. If they want they can take it not for what it is; but for what they believe it to be."
