Sermon (2025)

This piece is part of my Women As Christ series. 

"Sermon" is the first painting symbolizing beginning, promise, and risk. A woman stands at a pulpit and much like the new idea she is preaching, her body is pink, flushed and exposed like a newborn child. The lack of face and upper torso removes any individual identity for the woman. The viewer becomes the congregation. Like any sermon, it will be understood, misinterpreted, accepted, or rejected. The consequences are unknown.
