For the past 12 years, my ongoing series Left Bank Women has focused on creating large-scale, mixed-media portraits of influential women: artists, poets, performers, booksellers and patrons who lived, loved, and worked at the advent of modernism. These are women whose historical significance has often been undervalued or overlooked. Each portrait is the result of deep research into their lives, relationships, and creative networks. I use watercolor, colored pencil, and cut paper to construct a vibrant visual language that echoes the complexity and intimacy of their stories.

At the heart of my work is a desire to honor female agency, creativity, and interconnectedness. Each piece not only centers a historical figure but also highlights important relationships; romantic, artistic, intellectual, that shaped her world. This approach reflects my belief that art can serve as a living archive, a way to reclaim marginalized voices while fostering a sense of continuity between past and present.

I am particularly interested in how personal narratives intersect with broader cultural shifts, and how visual art can engage with memory, myth, and identity. Through this work, I aim to create space for reflection, dialogue, and renewed appreciation for the women who helped shape modern art.
