Statement
Painting is a form of self-inquiry and self-expression. All paintings are in essence, self-portraits. The use of iconic images and designer brands in my work construct and then deconstruct an “ideal”- an ideal that in my mind is an unattainable standard of what society dictates women should be. My inspiration derives from my own inner conflicts stemming from social conditioning. Despite the dark undertone, my work signifies elements of hope, humor and humanity.
