Artist Statement: "Research shows how ongoing exposure to certain ideas can shape and distort our perceptions of reality. The media eye, in its many different forms, objectifies all of us. The result? Many of us begin to objectify ourselves. "Media Lies" is a body of work that explores the female body image, through my own personal confessions and the experiences of the women in my life. In these drawings I have broke away from my traditional medium and color palette, and through the use of blacks, grays and whites I deconstruct and reveal the dark, lonely and sometimes embarrassing moments that many woman face as well as our responses to these tumultuous times. By layering different drawing mediums including pencil, pastel, india ink and charcoal I try to create visual intrigue. Integrating unique pattern, ambiguous symbolism and sometimes collage, these works on paper still contain my usual style and methods that I often use in my canvas paintings. When people see “Media Lies”, specifically woman, I would like them to realize that by examining these external pressures, I can only hope that woman can begin to love themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin, because one of the most radical things a woman can do is love her body".
