ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always had trouble accepting myself. Growing up, I was an overweight introvert. Granted, this led me to being a creative soul overall, however, there was always this self-loathing and dissatisfaction of never being beautiful. I could see beauty in everyone else but myself, of course this perplexing mindset led to rapid weight loss, a breast augmentation, bulimia nervosa, numerous hair experiments and a reinvention of several personalities, leaving the last 'me' obsolete and miserable. While searching, I always took private pictures, certain things that stood out where the fact that I was always overly made-up and/or sexually suggestive. Inadvertently, I associate my own nakedness with lust, whereas, in my art, I found nudism beautiful. The paradigm shift didn't occur until May of 2014, when I began to view fitness and health as a way of life. Last month, when I began to work as a live art model for a local artist, it finally occurred to me that, even in all of my imperfection, I was lovely, not only to look at, but I was optimistic, thoughtful and found pleasure in simple things! Contributing to ISM strengthens notions of self, but the allure of the human body and embracing sexuality for what it is as an art form, instead of hiding it.
