My artwork focuses on human sensuality and eroticism through the manipulation and exploration of elegant, free flowing forms. They are derived from the human body and the observations required to explore the body in its natural state. The artworks are detached from the human form, yet still remain true to the nature of human sensuality by bestowing them with characteristics such as sensuality, voluptuousness, and curvaceousness. Each artwork is broken down into simple, flowing erotic forms that are highly refined and often polished.
The openly suggestive nature of my artwork is accomplished by well balanced designs created by the soft, sensual forms and the interactions they have. By reducing the forms to their absolute minimum, it allows the works to be suggestive in nature without being overtly sexually explicit. An important element of my artwork is the decision to leave it up to the viewer to determine their own erotic artistic interpretation of the suggestive nature of the movements, interactions and shapes themselves. Each viewers perception is totally based on their own personality characteristics, emotional functioning, and life experiences.
