I am a conceptual realist painter who uses craft and beauty to engage with complex themes of gender, consumer culture, and aesthetic history.

This series of paintings are still life that reference 18th and 19th century painting traditions. I intentionally keep these compositions generic, tapping into their familiarity and cultural authority. Beneath the painted surface, I embed text drawn from current day political discourse, including language reflecting backlash against women’s rights, attacks on female journalist, and sexist remarks made by the current political powers that allow historical visual conventions to collide with present-day realities.
