"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

- Siddhartha Gautama

One silk screen: the candle. Bodai, "The Laughing Buddha": the image of happiness. The Buddha Project is a candle-lighting attempt to spread happiness in more ways than one. With every painting sold, I will donate a portion of the sale to the UNICEF Tap Project. Every painting will provide clean water to a child for a year. For more information on the Tap Project, go to http://www.tapproject.org.

Every painting is fully customizable. For pricing or commission requests, please send an e-mail to kendra_kendrarousselet.com.

7 Deadly Sins Series

This first series uses color slide projections paired with the model and props to convey the 7 deadly sins in a fabricated reality setting. The use of projections forces us to question the qualifications of a "deadly sin," as they are defined by religion and society. Would we still consider the model as gluttonous if the image of other food items was not projected onto her? Is it a sin because we believe it to be so, or because others have projected it to be?

Behold

This series deals with conflicting conceptions of beauty in the breakdown as well as beauty in the ritual. While the model is shown to be more beautiful once broken down into her natural state, the actions and processes of putting on makeup can also be viewed as beautiful. Both scenarios present an idea that the true state of beauty exists when it is unattempted or unacknowledged, which poses the question: can beauty exist without a beholder?

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kendra's passion for art began at a young age, starting with art classes at 6 years old. She has been trained in numerous forms of media, including pastels, charcoal, watercolor, oil paint, acrylic paint, black and white photography, and color photography.

Using vibrant colors and appealing to aesthetics, Kendra's paintings seek to mesmerize the viewer while reflecting her personal interests. Her style is constantly evolving as she receives inspiration from countless sources. Kendra's photography captures her curious nature, focusing her eye on the things that go unnoticed or depicting things that go overly noticed in ways never seen before.
