As a figurative artist, I emphasize visual impact over narrative context. Like many of my paintings, Fleur combines elements of classical portraiture and contemporary fashion illustration. In combining the two genres, I’m seeking to create images that are both timeless and of-the-moment.
Fleur began with an image from a real fashion show and evolved with my imagination. When asked who she is, my response is that she is no one and anyone. Fleur is from my most recent series, Embellished, which explores over-the-top ornamentation juxtaposed with natural beauty.
