Botanicas/os: Plants and Personal Metaphors

Abstract

My work consists of images of voluptuous botanicals and their bodily fluids. In my paintings, I create metaphors that connect to the female body, beauty and disgust, maternal relationships, ovarian cancer, and sexual desires. Some of my artwork became sexual and abject, but then started to become caring and familial. I am usually thinking about attraction and repulsion. What will attract me and what will disturb me.
