“The central subject of her paintings serves as an alter-ego, an unearthly representation rendered in a spectrum of colors,” the gallery Shulamit Nazarian says. “As the artist has stated about her work, she is ‘acknowledging the incredible history contained with my body and transferring it to a visual language co-opted from the dominant Western art historical canon.’ Caught between the beautiful and the haunting, the paintings depict intimate, otherworldly scenes in which characters find themselves in moments of embrace, gaining protection and empowerment through touch, as they explore the complexities of their existence.”

These illustrations have wide-ranging subjects, yet the artist’s personal work most commonly seems to contain a visceral, sometimes gruesome quality contained within single characters.
