As far as I can remember, my hands created works of
fantasy. Fairies, mermaids, and mythical creatures constantly
covered the pages of my sketchbooks. My love of drawing
soon turned to painting, and these creatures of fantasy
remained the primary subjects of my work.
When painting, I try to create an escape from the mundane
and everyday. I enjoy this genre of painting because
of the enormous amount of freedom it gives me. When
painting fairies and fantasy creatures I am constantly
testing the limits of my imagination. Although my subjects
tend to be fantasy, natural elements such as plants,
insects, animals, and water inspire me and are often
found in my work.
My “Bound” series of artwork came about as
a natural combination of two elements that always interested
me; fantasy creatures (mainly fairies) and bondage.
It is enormous fun for me to place a pretty fairy into
the hands of some mysterious sadist, to tie her up with
tiny ropes and put her on display for all to see!
I graduated from York College of Pennsylvania in May
2000 with a B.A. in Fine Art and a minor in art history.
My ultimate goal is to one day support myself solely
on my artwork.
