Thrilled that I’m a finalist in the Naked & Nude Art Prize with my digital oil painting “See Me”! 

Congrats to all the finalists and looking forward to seeing the exhibition at the Manning Regional Art Gallery. The exhibition runs from 2 Sept – 15 Oct.

Artist Statement

I created See Me in April this year after a 1.5 year period that was extremely difficult for my family. I had to let my art practice go while I managed the situation.

See Me is finally having the time to refocus on myself and my art practice. I was ready to create and focus on what I love.

It was very important to me that the model have a strong and direct gaze, drawing the viewer in and challenging them to see “her” – directly.

The nakedness of the model represents confidence – but at the same time guardedness. Yes, I want you to See Me, but I will choose who I let “See Me”.
