Artwork
A collection of paintings and prints exploring the feminine form, intimacy, and the beauty of obscured identity.
Veiled Gaze, Soft Static
Printmaking
A pared-back portrait emerges through soft grain and muted color, where the face is both present and withheld. Obscured contours and emblematic marks invite intimacy while resisting full recognition, holding the viewer in a quiet tension between closeness and distance. The work meditates on feminine visibility, suggesting identity as something felt rather than fully seen.
Stars for Silent Witness
Printmaking
A pale, arresting face emerges from textured fields of ink, its gaze direct yet guarded, framed by a halo-like arc that suggests both sanctity and erasure. The red stars punctuating the cheeks act as intimate marks—ornament and interruption—hinting at identity while refusing full disclosure. Through restraint and repetition, the work balances vulnerability with anonymity, inviting closeness while holding something back.
Stars for Silent Faces
Printmaking with mixed media
A stark, monochrome visage emerges from textured shadows, its direct gaze both intimate and withheld. The red stars punctuate the cheeks like quiet acts of defiance, disrupting anonymity while refusing full revelation. Through reduction and obscuring, the work explores feminine presence as something simultaneously seen, protected, and powerfully self-contained.
Veiled Bloom Studies
Linocut print on paper
Bold, incised lines carve floral forms into a field of negative space, echoing the artist’s exploration of intimacy through concealment. The blossoms feel bodily and tender, their petals unfolding while withholding full clarity, inviting a quiet, anonymous closeness between viewer and image.
Veil of Quiet Bodies
Printmaking (monotype)
A pale, hovering form emerges from a dense, shadowed field, its edges softened as if eroded by memory and touch. Obscured architecture and dripping marks create a sense of interiority and concealment, where the body is both present and withheld. The work evokes intimacy through anonymity, inviting the viewer to linger in the space between vulnerability and disappearance.
Veiled Constellations
Mixed media painting and printmaking
Fragmented bodies emerge and dissolve across a field of deep blue, where starbursts both conceal and illuminate moments of touch. The obscured faces and interrupted forms create a tension between intimacy and distance, suggesting connection without full revelation. Through layering, repetition, and concealment, the work frames femininity as something simultaneously cosmic, vulnerable, and deliberately anonymous.
Sanctuary, Half Remembered
Printmaking
Rendered in spare, deliberate lines, the structure emerges as both presence and absence, held gently against an expanse of white. The obscured surroundings echo themes of intimacy and anonymity, suggesting a body or memory partially withheld from view. Stillness becomes a form of protection, inviting quiet contemplation rather than revelation.
Halo of Unsaid Things
Printmaking
A stark, intimate portrait emerges through restrained marks and open space, where the face feels both present and withheld. The halo-like arc and star motifs suggest tenderness and vulnerability, while the softened features resist full disclosure. Anonymity becomes an act of care, inviting quiet contemplation rather than possession.
Spiral Where a Face Was
Relief print with hand-applied paint
A seated feminine body anchors the composition, its presence both intimate and withheld as the face dissolves into a hypnotic spiral. Stars punctuate the dark field like quiet witnesses, blurring inner cosmos and exterior space. Through stark lines and deliberate obscuration, the work meditates on anonymity, vulnerability, and the tension between being seen and remaining unknowable.
Held Without Faces
Printmaking
Rendered in stark black and white, two figures fold into each other, their faces erased into blank fields of anonymity. The obscured identities heighten the tenderness of the embrace, shifting focus from who they are to how they connect. Wesemann’s restrained marks transform intimacy into something universal, quiet, and emotionally suspended.
Veiled Contour, Soft Silence
Printmaking
A pale, luminous form emerges from a darkened ground, its curves partially erased and reassembled through gesture and texture. By obscuring the body’s center and dissolving its edges, the work invites intimacy without exposure, holding the figure in a suspended state between presence and disappearance. The image feels both tender and distant, echoing themes of anonymity and quiet vulnerability.
Starless Center Held
Mixed media print on paper
A fragmented torso emerges through grainy lines and soft abrasion, its center both revealed and guarded by a jagged halo. The obscured head and dissolving edges invite intimacy without identity, suggesting vulnerability as a quiet force. The work lingers between touch and distance, where the feminine form becomes a site of presence rather than spectacle.
Orbit of the Self
Printmaking
A stark, monochrome figure sits grounded yet exposed, her face replaced by a hypnotic spiral that collapses identity into motion and depth. The surrounding stars suggest both cosmic vastness and private mythology, while the obscured head transforms intimacy into anonymity. Through rough, tactile marks, the work balances vulnerability and power, rendering the feminine body as both present and unknowable.
Where Bodies Withdraw
Acrylic on canvas
Sunlit architecture and dense greenery stand in for the absent body, creating a quiet portrait of presence through omission. The crisp edges of the building contrast with the organic softness of leaves and hedges, suggesting intimacy held at a distance. Anonymity becomes a shelter here, where warmth, memory, and femininity linger without revealing themselves fully.
Sheltered Monument, Softened
Acrylic on canvas
A classical structure emerges through layers of foliage and atmosphere, its grandeur gently veiled by painterly brushstrokes and encroaching green. The work holds a quiet tension between exposure and concealment, transforming architecture into a stand-in for the body—present, guarded, and intimate. Muted light and softened edges invite a contemplative gaze, where anonymity becomes a form of tenderness.
Where the Body Pauses
Mixed media printmaking
A fragmented feminine figure unfolds in soft violet washes and spare line, interrupted by a dense black form that withholds full visibility. The obscured torso becomes a site of tension between exposure and protection, inviting intimacy while resisting possession. Through anonymity and gesture, the work lingers in a quiet moment of self-containment and vulnerability.
Veil Across the Gaze
Acrylic painting
A solitary feminine figure emerges from a dark, restless ground, her eyes bound by a thick band that denies recognition while inviting intimacy. The contrast between pale hair, muted blues, and the obscured face evokes vulnerability suspended between presence and erasure. Through concealment, the painting suggests how anonymity can become a form of quiet resistance and self-protection.
