This
month's featured artist is Tallulah, of Florida, USA:
"The
Statement"
 |
"I
chose to paint women because I am user-friendly so to
speak. I have seen many pin-up artists over the years
and they are, of course, imaginary .... at least to a
certain extent. I don't see myself that way and as I have
found out, neither do a majority of other women. I wanted
to paint what I feel as a woman. Something a man could
never know."
Tallulah
is a forty year old American woman who paints nude women.
Being a Florida native, by way of Chicago, Illinois. She
has spent most of her life in Florida, currently, living
at the beach.
Although
she spent much of her youth drawing, academic training
was in business. Being a woman, her parents felt she needed
to learn some relevant skills in order to earn a living.

"Free"

"Russian
Beauty" |
In
1998, after a great and terrible disaster, she decided
time was too short to waste.
The
subject she loved to paint the most, was the subject that
she knew best. Women. And as they say, every picture tells
a story.
