"My
work focuses on the ideas and definitions of beauty. I strive to
document these notions in vivid visual form, looking to fairy
tales, art history and contemporary magazines to interpret this
meaning. From the Venus of Willendorf, to Kate Moss, images of
beauty provide me with a glimpse of our collective idea of what a
beautiful woman "should be". I like to redefine the
words of fairytales, the images of Cosmopolitan and juxtapose one
world's beauty with another. I balance the use of materials
relative to the conceptual idea, while keeping a
"traditional" method of art making."
