Sensuous Sensations 1 Series

My art conveys my life as a human female and female sexuality. From my Sensuous Sensations 1 series, for example, in my painting "PMS" a woman is experiencing PMS (premenstrual syndrome), her face is blue depicting the depressed emotions, and the abdominal and breast areas are swollen.

Most art involving sexuality are from the man's point of view. Mine are from the woman's. I'm trying to take female sexuality out of the secret darkness, where both men and women are ignorant about females. My art may be considered a Representational Expressionism of my sensual insight about my personal experiences. It intermingles my physical, emotional, spiritual and imaginational being.

Individuals viewing my art have various reactions: some women applaud it; a few women have had it censored in art shows; most men don't recognize the female parts in them, a few can. It's fun to see the reactions. I think they are educational.
