Description This monotype is based on the story of Beatrice in Dante's Inferno. I am depicting her presenting herself as Lucifer's bride after she has lost a bet with him over Dante's faithfulness to her while away.I highly recommend choosing a matte paper like 'Enhanced Matte', 'UltraSmooth Fine Art', or 'Hahnemuhle Torchon' because this will give the best quality reproduction and the smooth surface will show detail to the best effect.

Artist Statement Many of my themes deal with birth, death, love, sacrifice, spiritual things like the afterlife, sin, loyalty, and of course nature and the marvel of the human body. I think that Greek mythology and biblical themes are particularly inspiring and still relevant today. Much of my work is ambiguous and almost completely abstract. I prefer to give impressions and feelings of things and to let the viewer enjoy the aesthetics of the work rather than looking for comparisons to what a camera might see. My art comes from a place that is hard to define and the mediums I use are well suited to the way I express the things that are important to me.  My hope is that others will enjoy my art as much as I did in creating it.
