Beauty in tragedy. The surreal and subjective, classic and subcultural. I like decadence, new perspectives, old ideas revamped and manipulated. Truth but especially the lies that hide it. FILM. Stories, fucked up fairy tales, lives untold. I like the twists...Irony. Love. Secrets. I'm a morbid romantic...

Sex from a social and artistic perspective. Play with their heads not with their [CENSORED]

Dali

Voyeurism. What people do when they think no one is looking. Darkness, emptiness, and the hope that it spawns. Regret and redemption..The Saved and the Sainted..Personal defeat and emotional evolution. Humanity at it's finest: Triumph over tribulation.

GLAMOR, FILTH, AND TEXTURE.

I love beauty, though the definition is wide and subjective...No need to define or refine... To classify is to "ASS-ify". You'll know it if you see it..

Classical perfection. White on white marble. Varnished cracks and ambient light. All natural no matter how polished [A Beautiful Lie]. I don't like all my art polluted, it's just easier to make. The Italian and Dutch masters are called so for reasons...

Light and Shadow. Depth and direction. I love a great profile [both definitions]. Life in silhouette...[so to speak]

Mixed Media..

My first love was drawing and painting, an artist at 3. A photo of the statue of David was something to "Show and Tell". A diverse list of artists and their work will always be a constant influence and fountain of inspiration. I love collages and mixed mediums. Some of the best art comes from a combination of random collections...Another man's trash...YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES...

FILM: Too close and too personal to ever explain.
MUSIC: Mother of ideas.
BOOKS and POETRY: All of the above.

The disturbed, the demented, the awkward, and absurd. The unseen and unfelt. "Behind closed doors'..."What if" and "WATCH OUT!". Reality pushed to it's limits. I want to test you as life tests you..
How much can you take? Myself for that matter...?

Dreams: The pretty and the whimsical [I am a girl afterall..]

URBAN and rural, but especially Urban. Distortion and reflection. History and fashion. Vintage and Modern. Color and black and white.
