Artist Statement **READ FIRST**

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 13, 2005, 11:45 AM
My current body of work focuses on intimacy, trust and passion in relationships. These pieces are not necessarily erotic, but should evoke a loving response. Although some works may feature a fetish quality, the idea is to show the intimacy and trust needed for these activities. I use both found images from the internet and personal photographs to base my pieces on.

I am exploring these topics of intimacy, trust and passion both in my art and in my life. By exploring these issues with people and sometimes photographing them, I not only get inspiration for pieces, but also learn about them, myself and humanity as a whole. Boundaries are established, trusts are developed and frequently a resulting intimacy is attained. This intimacy is not only with the subjects in my pieces, but also with the viewer - inviting them into a private moment, trusting them with my inner thoughts and desires, and hopefully inspiring a passion within them for my work.

"That's not the way to use a paint brush," said Beezus. "Besides, you're getting paint on your fingers."
"Look - Ralph's feet marks," exclaimed Ramona, paying no attention to Beezus.
