    Description

    This mixed media painting was inspired by mid-century comic book art and was part of a series of feminist-based paintings I created during my Jerome Fellowship in 2016-2017. It focuses on the "Mean Girl" aspect of our patriarchal society that tends to pit women against each other as enemies instead of encouraging them to support and lift each other up. The digitally-created rub-on lettering features phrases women tend to use against each other, such as "She looks like a slut," "I heard she got a promotion because she slept with someone," and "You know, women are supposed to let their husbands take the lead." The rest of the painting is hand-painted acrylic with finished, gallery-wrapped edges.

    Concept

    I create acrylic paintings, mixed media pieces, and prints that incorporate pops of vivid color that leap off the surface, and a dark nostalgia for decades past that were not as glorious in hindsight. Whether addressing social issues or channeling the other half of myself that survives on guitars and record shops, a strong undercurrent of feminism weaves through my work.

    My love of text and dark sense of humor allow me to present difficult subjects in a palatable manner, sparking conversation and bringing a sense of lightness to the exhibition space. I am particularly drawn to the plastic quality and bright hues of acrylic paint, and I find there is nothing more cathartic than the creation of a smooth, flat surface that lacks the visible brush strokes normally seen in other types of painting.
