LOVE IS MY DEMON’S NAME

MEDIUM: ACRYLIC ON CANVAS BOARD, 11x14 inches

“When I think of the Devil, I think of a woman, and when I think of a woman, I think of Lilith. I have dreamt of her lately and so I must paint her again and again until she is done with me. Lilith did not submit to Adam, but here, she submits to her demons. She has no shame. She has learned to own her pain. It is a part of who she is. If she has made a deal with the Devil, it would only be for Love...and Love is always painful, bleeding, and consuming.”
