    Description

    This painting is part of my Ad Series, a body of work that utilizes the mid-century advertising format to address social and political issues faced by those who work in the arts. This particular piece was created in reference to the numerous occasions where artists are asked to donate work to charity auctions, where art collectors can purchase work at a discount without ever benefiting the artist themself. This mixed media painting was created mostly using acrylic paint, with rub-on lettering applied for the smallest text. The plastic quality of acrylic and bright hues are the perfect complement to the mid-century style of the piece.

    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.
