Artist Description

The movement of a dancer is the movement of the air.

Light, transparent and imaginative. Devoted to her next step, her next form, she kindly trusts her body’s proficiency, finesse and artistry.She is a testament to all the women of her ancestors who came before her. Their lives, their sacrifice, their work.

In the depth of the painting’s  layers you can make out ancient arms swinging upwards, trying to fly, but not yet ready to leave gravity behind. 

She is the one who left the cocoon. She is the one who is redeeming the roots of her being.
