ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting speaks about strong women and being brave and powerful. The quote is from Amanda Gorman "For there is always light. If only we are brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it". The palette is different from some of my other works. When I create a Subway Sonnet I'm reminded of my teens in Brooklyn and NYC, I imagine I am creating surfaces like the ones that were always around me, whether it was on a payphone talking to a boyfriend and looking at the graffiti and pulled off stickers or the mettalic grating pulled down over the pizzeria front filled with drip marks from paint and sharpie pen marks. With this piece I envision a new surface. At the end of the D train ride the trains would park and we could get out (we were not allowed but we did) and walk around the tracks. All the trains had so much rust and gorgeous corroded surfaces. That was the canvas of the street artists. I am not a street artist but this is what informs my work. Created with oil paint and paper on stretched canvas, sealed with UV protective varnish and ready to hang.
