During this difficult time of global pandemic I realized how hard isolation was. My photoshoots with models were cancelled and I was depressed. I called for submissions on Instagram reminding women that we, empowered, could get through this emotionally taxing time. I sought connection and service to cope with depression. I prompted women to declare their worth with a simple exercise. I encouraged women to take pictures of themselves in a trance that proclaimed “I own this and I am amazing, hot, sexy, and empowered.” I would create an all-inclusive painting series based on these photos of women, any race, any age (+18), and any body type. As I published every painting, I became a platform for each of them to share a short text about their body, what this exercise meant for them, and what it challenged in them. I encouraged women to find whatever made them feel sexy, defiant of traditional beauty standards, empowered, and to have fun exploring their own fears and strengths through these photos. I created a space for women to have agency over their body and self-expression. The response was overwhelming and proved to be as healing for them as it was for me. It is a global collaboration with strangers dictating and challenging many of my visual parameters and a reminder that we individually have the strength to traverse the Covid-19 pandemic.

My work and investigations focus on the female existence within established concepts of beauty. Through a variety of media it discovers, exposes, and challenges aesthetic standards that create familiar archetypes, and presents visual realities that both invite and defy aesthetic expectations. My art records the damage that pervasive beauty canons and limited definitions of these create in a group and in an individual’s perception of body, beauty, and self worth. It documents countervailing declarations of beauty and historical shifts in standards and their subjectivity. It explores a series of visual commonalities-- aesthetic systems within a class, culture, or social structure. In my immersive surveys of communities of different classes of women, I observe the varying definitions of beauty that form collectively and organically, or are passed down inter-generationally despite prevailing global standards.
