CANDELARIA of the Southwestern Tribes

A couple of months ago, we went to MOAB with my husband's family and one night James and I decided to go explore the streets. In our exploring, I found a post card of a indian woman. Her look was so intense that I bought it just so I could have it.

I stayed home from work today, because I had a REALLY rough night, but I finally felt a little better a couple of hours ago and decided to do something to distract myself.

While thinking of things to do, she came to my mind and I really wanted to draw her.

She makes me want to be some type of super woman.

Artist Statement

I have worked with different mediums and have learned that each one brings its own personality and beauty to a piece; it is my responsibility to portray that. Art is one of the most important components of my life and as a growing artist, I am hoping to follow in the footsteps of some personally known artists like Ronald Roberts, Hyunmee Lee, Jessi Pace-Berkley and Kendra Burton. The outcome of having worked with these artists in a student setting has brought a lot of character and improvement into my work.
I select subject matters that are simple, making compositions attractive and enjoyable. I make sure that the colors I use are vibrant, the strokes I put down vary from large and visible to shorter and more restricted, and that I have open compositions that give the opportunity for the eye to wander freely.I feel that my art becomes better as I mature and expose myself to the world. As I learn new things and make constant changes, I have learned that art is my only constant. Art is the one thing that takes me to a world of my own; the one thing that takes me home.

Background

I have been doing art for at least 9 years. I am heavily influenced by my surroundings. I have had the experience to be taught by wonderful artists like Jessi Pace-Berkley, Ronald Ray Rogers, Hyunmee Lee and Kendra Burton. I have learned much from their styles and their passion for art. I live to make art. My strengths are oil painting and charcoal drawings. I take pride in my ability to draw beautiful faces and paint how I portray the world in my own, unique way.
Please contact me if you would like to have any commission work done.
