            Illuminations Statement

I have been drawn to Medieval illuminated manuscripts since I first saw them in Florence Italy years ago. Like the originals, I use saturated colors, floral motifs, and flashes of gold in my images. It is the content that is quite different.
I imagine how medieval manuscript paintings would have looked if the western world had continued to worship male and female Gods instead of adopting the purely male dominated Abrahamic religions.
I am inspired by ancient artifacts, religions and texts that point to a time when women were equally respected and admired for their unique contributions to the world. My images are celebrations of feminine power and beauty and a reminder of what we were. With a better understanding of woman’s historical path, we can better understand where we are today as women.
