Steven Duede runs a wonderful website featuring New England photographers and I am so honored to be included amongst the immense talent there.
“I first became acquainted with Jaina’s works a few years ago and was immediately drawn to the intensely personal nature of much of her works. The dynamic, visually striking, nearly assaultive composition of the works are jarring and thoughtful reflections on isolation, self-awareness and personal triumph. In her self-portraits often, at times with her most expressive face allows us to connect to her situational experiences. Theatrical, cinematic. At times uncomfortable yet humorous. Repulsive yet beautiful, Jaina’s work delivers complex imagery that can serve as a template in personal perception.”
