WARRIOR GIRL IS AN ARTIST AND A SUPERHERO WHO BELIEVES THAT ART IS EVERYWHERE, EVERYONE IS AN ARTIST AND EVERYONE IS SUPERHUMAN, BUT NOT EVERYON BELIEVES IT.
As a child, Warrior Girl loved the theatre. At the age of six, she planted herself on the stage and would not leave. During a dance performance, she already saw clearly her desire to entertain, and never forgot the love she had for the stage. At the age of 13 she started her formal studies of theatre, at the Cranbrook School of Arts summer program where she participated in numerous short productions. The larger productions in this program included "Dick Whittingon and his Cat" as well as a beautiful production that combined "Through the Looking Glass," and "Alice in Wonderland" where she starred as the March Hare. Her love was confirmed. During the next few years, she led children theatrically with local youth programs. During this time, she began to search for other ways to express herself. In 1987, she started with photography. Always innovating, she created emotive self-portraiture with three dimensional installations with recycled material reflecting the energy of Detroit industrialism combined with figurative, and eclectic design. Later on, she returned to the stage, creating edgy sound scapes, and noise programs in combination with dark industrial gothic style dance and performance art.
As she began to study anthropology and archeology as an interest, as well as exploring her native american roots she began to study this combination of technology and tribalism in San Francisco. She created works which questioned the purpose, the good and evil, of technology in relation to human contact and distance. Her work began to focus in aerial performances including stunt work and incorporating rock climbing, some circus, and aerial dance.
Finally, after arriving in Spain in 2000, her focus shifted to studying circus, and the limits of the body. With this, She went out to the street. With an avid interest in clown and street performance, she has spent the last five years focused on acrobalance, hand balancing, clown, statue, and continues to spatter it all with some aerial projects.
Conceptually, Warrior Girl is a lifelong project which supports the idea that the artist is not seperate from the person but one in the same. Her work is cutting edge in the worlds of theatre and performance art, and continues to grow and change based upon her drive, motivation and site specific possibilities. Her work is devoted to supporting this idea, and her medium of art has become both theatrical, performative, and corporeal; using her body as the canvas for her ideas and her mind as the paintbrush
