The Shadow Views Mystical Female Nudes

As The Shadow now tries to let you know what is happening in the art world after suffering computer problems, he was very pressed to show the description of a show he attended on September 15, 2007 from one of his closest friends, artist MB Stephens.

One of the works from the reception

The Shadow met artist MB Stephens during another reception and was able to view an album of her work. Her work is very sensual and sexual without being pornographic. It is very tastefully done and the photography is wonderful.

The artist describes her work as follows:

I began exploring the sensual female nude in fine art photograph and digital art in late 2005. There is a sense and presence of the mystical, figurative, organic and the sensual in the work present. I, also, speak quite certainly of and to the female experience as I create each piece. I refer to my pictures as my fantasies and think of each one as a world formed in that moment which belongs only to them in their
individuality. In this way, they come to life for me as if each takes its own space from the mythology that spins around inside my mind.
