My Artist Statement

I am a sort of fantasy drawer. I work mostly with figures. The Artist that I had looked up, and studied was Artemisia Gentleschi. She was an amazing artist who was a "Carvaggiest". I love her art work. The picture above is one of her paintings called: "Judith Beheading Holofernes". It is believed that she painted this painting because at age 19 she was raped by her painting instructor, and by painting this she was able to let all her anger out.
