This woman was inspired by the retro housewife living in a modern world.  She's beautifully kept, always wearing her pumps and her pearls--but she has to remain quiet to keep up her perfect image.  She's bound to her own rules and society's expectations.  I painted her in oils to capture the beauty of her features, but for her lips I smeared an oil-acrylic mixture across her face.  This was painted to resemble a gag, to remind the audience that even though she is beautiful, it comes at a price.

My portfolio, ‘Isla Studio Art’, is updated consistently based on the beauty I find around me. I have lived across the states, and my work is mostly inspired by women I have met. From the Loveless Cafe waitresses in Nashville to aspiring actors in Los Angeles, these women are powerful, impactful, and inspiring. My paintings and drawings reflect the beauty in the places I’ve lived and the people I’ve known. I mix textures, abstract backgrounds, and vivid colors to recreate moments I’ve seen in cross-country beauty cultures. My website, ‘Isla Studio Art’ is named after the most beautiful girl I know—my niece.
