Painting the Body in Squares is a personal journey with a universal theme  that uses the square as a vessel to investigate the body’s aging process through its physical and emotional tolls on our identity and self-worth. Each series in the project addresses a different topic of this struggle, made especially more difficult being a woman.  Facing shrinking, wrinkling and greying to age related heart disease, infections, pain, cancer, and a slew of other post-menopausal issues, women struggle to be heard and recognized. The square becomes the stable force, providing the strength to persevere. Mixed Media; Gouache, Water Color, Graphite, Collage
