Most influential work of art?
Chicago's Picasso
My work is influenced by female beauty. Captivating soft feminine curves in my paintings and soft to the touch sculptures. The fluid flowing sensual paintings, which has a timeless motion and spirit. The work is heavily influenced by textures. I enjoy art with texture. Most of my work is in acrylic with heavy gel medium, but I also do watercolors, pastel, oil pastel, ceramics, sculpture and more. My favorite sculptures are molded and poured with silicone and dye. They can go with lights to allow color to pour through them. The transparent sculptures have a soft glass look but are very strong unlike glass. I received a BFA from Pratt Institute, MA and MFA in process from New York Institute of technology.
