I paint fragmented self-portraits in food, cosmetics and other objects that act as lenses, portals, mirrors and other psychological metaphors. Juxtaposing various symbolic objects, I create specific narratives within each painting. Still life painting has historically been a genre that is most inclusive to women and I see it as a symbol of feminist resistance. I combine chiaroscuro lighting and paint application reminiscent of Dutch Golden Age Still Life painting often with bright Pop Art colors. I use diverse styles of paint application including loose, expressionistic strokes, areas of impasto, thin staining, scratching, and other visceral painterly gestures. Notions of wholesomeness, glamour, and other promises of Capitalism are painted with a sense of humor and visible human touch. I construct each image digitally from drawings, personal photography, found images and AI-generated images then create paintings using these digital collages as reference material.
