99 Red Marinas at Luminaria!

99 Red marinas are comprised of 99 monochromatic works of art. 90 small drawings and 9 large paintings. This work depicts the experiences and fears of women during times of peace and times of war.

Hard times create strong men but what does it do for women? In the series I explore that question.

I chose red because It draws attention like no other color. It symbolizes action, strength, energy and passion. It stimulates, cautions and motivates. It is the color of courage, desire and confidence.

The underwater theme is used because I feel that water is a feminine element. Water is not structured but it is flexible and life giving.
