bull in the heather Painting

I'm interested in the lives of women and how we share and communicate our lives publicly and privately in this modern life. I’ve always been interested in the role that photography plays in how we construct our memories and how that is changing with social media. By painting these images, I’m able to capture that ‘just out of reach’ feeling of memories, where some details remain sharp, yet others blur and disappear. These new pieces have been look at the women that have inspired me from childhood until now. Pop culture figures whom i've grown up emulating in different ways. Women who I see scattered on various different social media site whose imagery and identity serves as influence for a generation of women.
