Homage to Evelyn De Morgan (Self Portrait)
40 x 40 in (h x w)
not for sale

My painting depicts spiritual artist Evelyn De Morgan (English 1855-1919) at work in front of an easel. There are colorful rays of light flowing across my painting that connect Evelyn, her palette and canvas. These three elements are divinely inspired, symbolic of the artist’s imagination. Evelyn’s gaze is introspective as she looks down on her oval-shaped palette, which echoes the oval shape around the angelic figure on her canvas, implying a connection. If you look carefully, the two ovals mimic an open book, and Evelyn is looking down, reading into the moment. My intention is to re-enact her, using the image of my self-portrait (I alter my features to resemble Evelyn). My ultimate goal is to invite curiosity about who Evelyn De Morgan was.
