​The Female Gaze: Lines Between Florence and Paris is a 2026 drawing project and exhibition presenting a collection of original figure studies created across major European studio traditions and exhibited in the United States. Developed through intensive observational practice at Santa Croce Art in Florence, Italy, and Life Drawings Montmartre in Montmartre, Paris, France.
The project explores the contemporary female gaze through direct engagement with live models and historic atelier environments. This body of work represents a focused period of artistic research, professional development, and cultural exchange, undertaken to deepen technical mastery of figurative drawing and to prepare a curated exhibition for presentation in the United States in late 2026. The drawings reflect a cross-cultural dialogue between classical Florentine draftsmanship and the expressive immediacy of Parisian studio practice, forming part of a defined artistic residency and temporary creative production period tied directly to exhibition preparation, publication, and professional presentation.
