I have always enjoyed the female form for it’s interesting curves and shadows…at every turn there is a soft hill or burrow. In college I volunteered as a model for many figure drawing classes. I was always struck by how professional and non-sexual posing for a class was. Afterwards, many thanked me for my time and shook my hand. No one ever checked me out or came on to me.It was so very intriguing to walk around and see the many different ways that individual artists interpreted my body. Some making me Rubenesque while others took away my curves. Larger breasts. Smaller breasts. So many styles and creative minds.

 

“Vulnerable” is a very personal piece. A woman’s back has always seemed to me to be so very sensitive, tender and exposed. My Labor of Love pieces are one of my most recognizable and collected of my styles. It was a challenge to transform a painted medium onto the computer, but the results were fantastic. Sections of my Labor of Love arrangements hand sewn to form exquisite patterns. Stone Rock’d Art was born.She is on her way to becoming one of my best sellers…..feel her vulnerability.

“Suspended” is my favorite from this nude series.  I love the tension and mystery in the pose. Those are actually my legs, but I was not suspended. 😉 A photographer friend photographed me laying nude on the sideboard in my dining room.  I like to use myself or willing friends as models for my work as much as possible.  I had to round out my bottom for this piece of art because pressed against the hard wood left it looking a little flat. 😉 Can you feel the tension?

Recently I decided to clean out and organize all of my clothing drawers.  When my husband came in and saw the pile of lace, satin and silk on the floor he said, “We should put those to more use.”  I do not think these images were what he had in mind. 😉  But a light bulb definitely went off in my creative mind.

Everyone has there own idea of what SEXY is.  Lingerie is usually used to entice and stimulate the desires of both men and women.  Or some people wear these delicate little gems just to feel “pretty”.  As an artist, I just see patterns, textures, shadows and lines.  So I assembled them into interesting positions and photographed them.  I added some filter work to give them a “vintage” feel.  

As I said yesterday, ugly things can be made pretty.  And pretty things can be made even more beautiful….

Yesterday while out driving around with my Hubby looking for places to take some pictures, we stumbled across a parking lot filled with vintage Porsche’s.  What a sight to see!  And best of all, the show was over and there were hardly any people about.  We had free reign to take as many shots as we pleased without any pesky humans in the way. 🙂  

Whenever I see one of these old classics, I think of my crazy uncle.  Doesn’t everyone have a “crazy uncle”?  Well I do.  And if you are reading this, you are mine Uncle Rick. 😉  

When I was around 13 years old and staying with my cousin for a week up in the hills of Georgia, my Uncle Rick thought it would be great fun to teach me how to drive.  Now that sounds like a pretty normal thing to do right?  Normal unless you consider that he put me behind the wheels of a 1954 Porsche Speedster that he had lovingly restored to absolute perfection.  It was a beautiful thing.  

All went well until he told me to not be afraid to put on the gas.  I listened like a good student.  It was a wild and crazy ride through winding roads.  I had driven a stick shift once before, so hey, I was practically a pro.  My memory gets a bit sketchy, but all of a sudden I took a curve way too fast and didn’t correct myself.  Uncle Rick grabs the wheel to help me correct and next thing we know we are smashed into an embankment of dirt.  That’s right.  I wrecked my Uncle’s shiny Porsche.  While I am sitting there drenched in sweat and trying to find my lungs again, I hear cackling.  Laughter.  Crazy insane guffawing.  He thought it was an absolute riot!  He told me to start it back up and keep going.  

Yesterday I was reminded of that time and of him.  And the thought occurred to me that maybe there was some wisdom in that wild ride.  Perhaps Uncle Rick wasn’t so crazy after all.  What he taught me was that “things” were just “things” and that the experience and people were far more important than an expensive car.  He also showed me that it was o.k. to let go of fear and just move forward. And lastly, that no matter how scary and crazy life gets….even if you crash sometimes……you can just start it back up and keep going. Broken and bruised……you can still enjoy the ride….

They say that sex sells.  I am not sure who “they” are, but I can tell you that when it comes to my art it simply isn’t true.  I mostly sell flowers, landscapes and animals.  My sexy and/or edgy pieces take second seat.  People rarely comment on them and even more rarely buy.  I know it isn’t that the work is bad.  It has to do with people’s insecurities and their fear of judgement.  Not many art collectors are brave enough to have nudes displayed as focal points in their homes.  There might be the charcoal drawing in the bedroom or maybe an abstract in a guest bathroom, but nothing that “shows” anything. Or even worse suggests anything sexual.  As a society we are still very prudish when it comes to art which is odd since T.V. and media are filled with raunchy nasty nude imagery.  Art is art.  Be proud and display it!

I have really been enjoying playing with vintage photographs and NASA images.  Since everything is connected it just seems fitting.  The stars surely shine brighter in Hollywood. 😉

Everyone who follows me online and in real life knows that I love the beach.  I also adore anything to do with music, especially guitars.  I decided to combine the two to create one beautiful piece.  I do not have a lot to say about this work as I believe it speaks for itself…..
