Yes, i do commissioned pieces.

If you would like to have a portrait of yourself or that of a loved one done, it only takes a good photo or maybe, if you are not too far from me, for me to take some pics and then work from one to create a painting that will not only last a very long time but that will be a cherished keepsake.

Asides from those pieces posted on this blog that already belong to private collectors ( clients ), all my artwork shown here are for sale. I am willing to consider almost any subject matter and i can work in graphite, sanguine, pastels and oils. Landscapes, still lives, nudes, portraits are topics i enjoy painting so don't be reticent, contact me and order your original painting.

sincerely,

Circe

About the vaginas.

Over the past few months, i have begun work on a series of pieces directly inspired by Eve Ensler's * Vagina Monologues *. For me, it has always been important that my art reflect life. At this time in my life, i feel the impulse to speak out against all forms of violence and specifically violence towards women and young girls.

This is my way of showing the great variety of voices of women and their experiences.

I have exhibited for a month ( mid november to mid december '07 ) in the context of the McGill university's " VaginArt " event and will also be holding a one day Gala of my work during the showing of the production of the Vagina Monologues in Newmarket, Ontario on march 3oth, 2008.
