Originally conceived and created as part of a larger Queer Lives series, Ms. Circe offers a sensual and stunning take on not only the visibility of queer women, but also a non-conformist portrayal of an unapologetic sexual woman. Juxtaposed within the classical portraiture milieu we are dramatically given a moment of relaxed, confident sexuality. Beautifully captured and portrayed Ms. Circe choses to show a confidence that confronts the viewer and asks that we linger in this captured moment, where queerness and marginalized identity has never been presented in such an archetypal and simply stunning way. Ms. Circe continues to examine important questions about feminism and female representation in her art, unafraid of the sexual politics that have often been a centric controversial element in deconstructing feminist art practice. Ms. Circe offers an intriguing and powerful image of female sexuality in her continued exploration of what has historically been the site of women’s oppression.

Two paintings sold at Venus Envy Ottawa
Below are the two paintings that were sold during the Opening reception / Vernissage at Venus Envy Ottawa on march 4th, 2012. It’s always such a plus to receive positive feedback from those who visit and comment of my art and when a piece is sold, this also is very encouraging to me as a woman artist.

The Pole Man, also known as Nat King Pole and NKP is a Montreal based Drag King who performs in local venues. Most Drag Kings are lesbian women though not all. NKP is a most extraordinarily talented performer with a voice to blow you away, a sense of humor that will make anyone want to pee and bust a gut. For this painting, NKP is sporting one of her costumes, yes that is a lump in her jeans ( packing ). Also, notice the shadow behind NKP, it’s taken on the shape of her persona. On the wall, above her head is a poster advertising one of her shows.
In this painting, I look at the iconic persona of the Drag King, and seek to give context with the energy and humor, the strength and humanity she finds inherent in this performance art. I delve into the construction of identity, of gender and the often seen taboo of crossing that construct.
