2012-2022
This body of work has its source in printed matter and the experience of looking at color through the monitor. I am looking to translate a found aesthetic into a new random possible one, go from an existing picture that already looks like a painting (appropriated or mine) into a new picture that may keep aspects from the original source, given the whimsical dose from material-mess. I study a restricted saccharine color-palette, I am frugal with the paint and my brush work. I favor wet-on-wet but will come back for small details. Working with some of these images, I realized I am interested in fashion because when I depict women, I want to reflect a way that is empowering femininity. I am interested in referencing gloss and the mystery of glamour.
