"Harliquin the Great Can't Bear to Look"
2011. Digital Photograph.
The photograph is a self portrait in black and white. The subject is a harlequin, representative of "playing the fool". She peers through her fingers, as if unable to bear that which is unfolding before her. The hyper-exposure of the photograph emphasizes the vulnerable nature of the emotion (the subject is emotionally exposed). While the overall feeling and expression of the subject is in discomfort, the black and white color choice lends to a feeling of right and wrong.
"Burn It All"
2012. Mixed Media: photography, collage, colored pencil, pastel, acrylic, and thread.
Self portrait. The chest of the subject is exposed, revealing a broken heart. The heart itself is open in half, and engulfed in flame. There are indications of old wounds on the heart, stitches having sewn them back together. Flames rise up around the subject, and wisps of hair blowing about the subject's head take on flame-like qualities. Smoke rises in the background.
"Dreams and Memories"
2010. Mixed Media: photography, collage, acrylic, colored pencil, rhinestones.
The subject sits on a chair in a dreamlike landscape. Red curtains enclose the piece, giving a sense of a theater. Sunset or sunrise looms in the distance over a mountain top. Rhinestone stars twinkle in the dark of the sky.

Conveying an uncomfortable emotion of contrition: remorse and regret.
