Artist's Statement

"Gorgeous Girl"

"Honey, call me," my lover text-messaged me on my phone.

"Hi, babe, what's up?" I said with giddy enthusiasm. I had only been with him for a month, but it seemed like more than that.

"I want you to wear that black dress I love on you. We're going out to celebrate!" he said.

Every day is a celebration when you're a gorgeous girl. If clothes make the man, fashions make the woman and fashions excite me. From couture designed by local Philadelphia designers, such as Tor'East and LELE, to well-known designer labels, such as Prada and Armani, looking fashionable to me is not about looking like everyone else, but looking good, looking unique, looking me, and that's what a photoshoot with me as a model is like. It's all about me and what I look like when I'm talking, smiling, laughing, and even making funny faces. There's nobody in the world who loves me more than I do. If I had a twin, I'd love her, too.

I've lived in Philadelphia for over twenty years and it's simply a fantastic city with so many possibilities but none of the craziness of New York City where I grew up. I love the 30th Street Station and Art Museum areas so I now live in a condo apartment overlooking both. I love going out with any man who is willing to treat me to dinner at a nice restaurant and drinks at a posh lounge. I love to see and be seen. That's my mantra. A Sunday stroll in the rain, a night at a black tie affair, and an evening my man won't soon forget. This is my life as a gorgeous girl, the life of a queen bee.

Artist's Statement

"Torn"

Can someone
Truly be in love
With more than one person
At the same time?

Do I have so much love
In my heart
That there's room
For two people…
.. Or am I being selfish?

Whatever it is,
I am torn between two,
A man with whom I built a life
And a woman who adores me.

The wisdom and success
That come with experience.
The imagination and energy
That is marked by youth.

When I am with one,
..
I feel a warm feeling in my belly
.... That he or she is the center of my universe
.... And nothing else really matters,
.. But the good feeling subsides eventually
.... And turns into cravings for the other
.... And I feel my heart being pulled apart.

Do I really know what love is
Or do I use the word too lightly,
Not really knowing its true meaning?
Not really caring?

Is it fair to each of them?
Would they understand?
Would they both hate me?
Would they both leave me?

What would I do if they did?

What I do makes sense to me
And keeps me happy
And yet sad
At the same time.

So I think about what it would be like
.. To be with just one person.
And I think about how the world sees me.
.. And I wish things were just a little different
.... And yet the same.
And I know that the world
.. Just isn't that way, never was, never will be.
Because the world doesn't yet understand me
.. And probably never will.

This series of captivating images with its beautiful pavilions and gazebos was photographed along the pathways and walkways between the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Waterworks Restaurant. The area is a stunning backdrop used for weddings and special occasions. Using mostly natural sunlight and a fill flash, I was able to create the vivid images you see before you.
