This piece holds a special place in my heart. You get all the sides of me. I am complex, I have many faces.
This piece is bathed in the perfume of my essence.
It represents the union of shadow and light. In Judaism, there is power in changing your name. It is akin to changing your fate. I was named “Sarah” by my mother. As someone who has spent much of my life helping others, I have been a mother to many — the name fit.
Recently, I was empowered to take a second name, “Miriam”. This represents me embracing my wild artist side more boldly. I was also inspired by a fierce artist, also named Miriam — thank you for showing me that women can be unapologetic & messily beautiful.
This piece illustrates my journey of reclaiming my sexuality & pleasure after experiencing childhood sexual abuse. I experienced abuse at the hands of my father and other men, and was sexually assaulted in my early and mid 20s.
I used sexual tools to create this piece: whips, floggers, hot wax, and other instruments. I wildly painted with my hands and reclaimed my relationship to sex through the canvas. I painted the darkest moments with iridescent golden hearts. I used nail polish and beauty products in a hue of empowerment. I kissed the painting and signed it “Mistress Rose”.
This piece speaks to themes of power and pleasure. As a woman, I have reclaimed my pleasure through making art.
I make love to each canvas, as I pour my energy onto the blank material.

Never lose hope my dear.
