This artwork, titled "February: She Is The Queen Of Her Universe", was created with multiple mediums on bristol board, and measures 11x14". I used prismacolor pencil for the figure, ink and watercolor (traditional and metallic) for the background, and tiny crystals are also applied. This piece is meant to exude confidence and empowerment through the symbolic nature imagery of peacock feathers and bees.
This piece was part of my "Unlimited" series I exhibited at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, MI in 2017.
"Unlimited" is composed of 12 mixed media portraits in which the meaning is influenced by the use of pattern and color. Women of all ages, races, and time periods are depicted, each communicating a different theme. I aim for the pieces to speak to women’s collective experiences beyond their differences. We tend to think of time and events in terms of our own personal history or the history of the nation in which we reside. But of course, there are women everywhere living out their day to day life all over the world, with hopes, dreams, fears, relationships. Our situations and struggles are very different but were we in some alternate reality all given a chance to meet, I suspect we would find some surprising similarities, maybe more than we ever expected.
This piece is signed and dated.
