"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."
