    Description

    This mixed media painting was created in response to the lack of affordable health care in the United States, especially for artists and other self-employed individuals. The image was inspired by a mid-century Band-Aid advertisement, and utilizes acrylic paint and digitally-created rub-on transfers on stretched, gallery-wrapped canvas. The text is a satire on an advertisement for a health insurance plan with a large paragraph of conditions that are excluded from coverage.

    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.
