Freedom of expression is a vital part of my artwork. As a survivor of domestic violence, I have learned to treasure any form of expression - and art is my voice. There was a time when my artwork was forbidden. I now have a voice that hopes to tell everyone that no one should ever take away our freedom of expression. And what better way to exhibit expression - than faces! I "see" them everywhere, in everything!
My work consists of facial features created from my sculpted clay tiles and found objects, in shadows of color and form...then mounted on wooden boards. Acrylic paints, as well as oils and crayons, enhance the images of each board. No two faces are ever alike. And please....notice that each character has a mouth wide open - the voice is always there.
