Looking at my “Fertility and Resurrection, #2”, one might not believe or assume that this is a painting of our domestic life totally consistent with my more romantic work! But as my daughter Chloe and I have progressed through the years painting our Femme-Power “That’s NOT MY Name” series about bodily and psychic autonomy, my mind has often drifted out towards other subjects of women’s power or sublimation in many other areas, and sometimes the inspirational objects around our studio turn themselves into other stories about our talks or work together. The “Fertility and Resurrection” paintings are about symbols of feminine strength vs. feminine weakness, about women standing up for their personal power, about today’s dialogue of wearing white and the many fascinating meanings of eggs correlated with life and death, and the feminine body: fertility, resurrection, never-ending life, birth, regeneration - so many powerful and fierce meanings.
