I have been making a huge effort to take time out for personal work..I sometimes forget how fun it is to just shoot to shoot!

As part of my painting series (see an older post here for details), I recreated a couple pieces by one of my favorite artists, Degas. The below photos are pre-paint. I have my favorite painter (my incredibly talented mom) working on them now. The original works by Degas can be seen here and here.

I am really excited about this series. I have a total of six pieces done so far, in collaboration with three very talented painters. Below is a recreation of the Pieta by Michelangelo, in collaboration with painter Katie Crawford.

I am still working on my ongoing series on femininity. What started at Art Center as a series on Dominatrixs’ (see here), has expanded. Many more photos to come.

And lastly another addition to my Characters of Hollywood Blvd series is pictured below. Pictured is Gerard portraying James Dean.
