A semi-abstract painting of a female figure. The work symbolically demonstrates the attempt of a woman to wash away her surface image or appearance that has come to defines her as a woman. The paint that bleeds away is a metaphor for the paint that has been used to for centuries in art to paint the nude female figure.

My work is a physical and metaphorical process of stripping, scratching, scraping and removing a layered, constructed and contrived surface.
