Description of the Artwork “Just The Way You Are”
This is a layered piece. I covered the canvas in plaster first to give it a rough texture, and then put layers of of color over that. I added a lace pattern over that, and then white washed over it. Then I painted the figure. The point of it is we are all beautiful just the way we are - scared, tattooed, naked, everything we have lived though, survived, accomplished is part of our beauty.

Gustav Klimt said "Art is a line around your thoughts.” I love that. That is exactly what art is to me. All my thoughts that are constantly running through my mind, all my words that that are constantly failing me. Things I want to say, but I’m not sure how, that’s why I paint. All the beautiful things and all the sad things that are in that I don’t know how to get out. And if means something to someone else, if they can see it and think I’ve felt that, or thought that and didn’t know how to say it, than that is even better. But mostly my art is just a collection of my thoughts, my dreams, my feelings, my stories I never told anyone.
