Behind the Figures:
My initial figures came out of casual conversations. After friends knew I had taken figure drawing classes in college, there were so many questions and interests about how someone could sit nude for art, so that eventually led to a friend sitting for me. Using graphite to sketch during the sessions and then applying watercolor to complete each piece, I fell in love with the final pieces!
But there was something that would unexpectedly happening each time I sat with new friends - we would have beautiful conversations during these sessions. Discussions of celebrating their bodies, recent accomplishments, even some struggles, and there was always a glow of confidence at the end of each session. It was a beautiful process and I’m grateful for the words that were shared.
So for me, these figures represent many things: beauty, confidence, strength, celebration. And I’m really happy to share these lovelies with you over the next few months.
