Has the rise of AI-generated art changed your perception of your own practice or originality?
"The creative process is my greatest teacher, and through the physical experience of art-making, I continue to discover myself. Paint applied against canvas by human hands produces perfectly imperfect art, textured and flawed, humble and transcendent. Each brushstroke is full of story. As an artist, I feel it’s important to explore the edges of comfort, vulnerability, novelty, and fear, and frequently question the motives and methods of art. Amidst the recent onslaught of AI images, I’ve reckoned with the very ethos of art, my place in it, and its place in me. To my surprise, I’ve found my creative motivation has only increased. In the vast sea of images and online content, the drive to make authentic art feels like a divine mission."

Interestingly beautiful…

"After seeing the exhibition of Artemisia Gentileschi and retracing her biography, I felt so attached to her (being born on the same day, July 8th) and to what she still represents today.
It seems that I have always chosen difficult paths for a woman... and it is disconcerting to recognize that little has changed.

The woman’s pose is a reference to one of her works that was later censored by another painter, who added veils and draperies. My figure is a part of me, the part that has entered the stage of menopause this year and is still trying to understand how it feels... and who doesn't feel old, but perhaps more aware, more connected. And more girly..."
