Lori Whitaker, Contemplative Figure, charcoal on Stonehenge paper, 30x22x1.75 in.
INSPIRATION
I think women do so much for everyone and seldom take time to rest and reflect.
This pose reminds me to sit and relax and contemplate, meditate or pray. Time to get in touch with ourselves so that we can be there for the ones we love. In other words slow down relax and maybe even take a nap once in a while. It's totally ok!
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a professional artist, I call on memories and experiences to evoke mood and narrative in my artwork. Artistic inspiration comes from childhood memories and the desire to capture sacred moments.
I enjoy connecting with people by creating universal human experiences using mixed media, oil painting, and figurative drawing. In my work I explore the delight of discovery and its relationship to identity.
