Using 3D computer graphics, I morph, texture and pose my figures and then light them, creating realistic renders that I use as a reference in my paintings and drawings.
I start out with a rough sketch, then shape my models to look exactly as I see in my mind’s eye. With 3D modeling, I have complete control over the model’s look, complex lighting and angles that wouldn’t be available in a conventional studio. I am able to spend hours getting the angle on a light right to make sure a shadow falls the right way.
My artwork explores the relationship women have with their bodies. The works are sensual, the lines flowing, revealing the sense of connection we have between our bodies and our minds. My paintings are unashamedly nude, but not erotic or titillating. They capture movement, gestures, emotion and encourage an empathic reaction in the viewer. My artwork considers the different issues women face both internally and through external forces. The nude body is a beautiful, sensual, expressive entity. The beauty of the female form and the emotion evident in each gesture are endless sources of inspiration for me.
