My Latest








Ater the Pursuit of Strength series I was still fascinated with the human body and anatomy chart drawings especially. I feel like I'm always around them, at the gym they are plastered on every machine and at the plethera of doctors offices I'm in.

There is sort of a serene elegance to the poses. I started thinking about the heart and how I love the symbolism of the heart especially in Frida Kahlo's work. I also love heart tattoos and endearments like True Until Death. I wanted to capture a mix of beauty mixed with brutality. The idea of the heart with blood droplets forming a second heart came to me. Sort of like saying I love you so much that my heart does this when I see you.

Patricia, I love this series. The heart with the blue background is amazing...the true blue really makes the heart more dramatic.
