Barbie's Dream House Painting

I create paintings that question political and social dilemmas in a dysfunctional society. I collect insight on issues that include gender equality, social conduct, and the social structures that govern contemporary American culture. In my work, I use a wide range of source materials to create compositions that amplify these subjects. As an observer, I juxtapose images of people, places, and things into my paintings to initiate conversations about the issues I care about most. For instance, in my painting Barbie's Dream House, I was inspired by the abundance of waste exported daily in America. I work mainly with oils because of the realistic quality it presents to the eye. I hope you feel the humor as I shed the importance on waste and what happens when we discard our belongings.
