“My painting ‘Steeled’ is about the isolation you feel while being cast as the other. My model and I had a conversation about some specific incidents in our lives that made us feel that when it happened again, next time we would be more prepared, steel ourselves to the situation. The overall grayness of the palette, the turbulent sky, the jagged rock outcropping as well as the cocoon-like pose wrapped up in a shawl are intended to contribute to this feeling. I feel that the broken shards embedded in the gesso layer work to assist the idea of a broken trust in a broken world but the figure representing humanity has the ability to bring those pieces together.  My idea to make this work as diptych was to have the landscape contained in one painting and the figure in another, kind of boxing the figure in and opening it up to a landscape as well.”
