My pictures are about relationships. I am trying to fill the role of a muse. I invite women to sit for portraits because I find them attractive. Some characters appear once while others occur multiple times. Women become replaceable and interchangeable. Subjects have plump faces, flowing hair and big eyes. Some of them look as if they just fell out of a painting at the Met. The pictures place women on pedestals, glorifying yet objectifying them. The poses are awkward and elegant. Their gaze is inviting yet passive.
