Showing Strength Painting

This piece was inspired by my mother. She came from nothing and was told throughout her life that she was weak. When the time came for her to have children she sought education and pushed to provide the best life she could for us. She had sheer tenacity and an unwavering drive to not only care for us but show us first hand that we are all strong. I want viewers to see the strongest version of themselves in this piece. I chose to paint this pop twist of an icon when I was living by myself in a dorm style apartment in French Canada. It was a spirit searching journey that forced me to reflect upon myself and my life. I thought of how I wanted to honor my mother in a painting. The color palette shows the fiery skies as the sun sets on bombers flying through aerial battle. The midground hints at the factories that fed the war effort. Rosie is positioned on a stamp that fades into the sky. This is to illustrate that the image we are so accustomed to seeing is grounded in actual events and real people. My style is more curious than defined. It's pop, graphic, colorful and iconic for this piece. Yet, my other works can differ greatly from sculpture, to charcoal, to collage and so on.
