About the Item: Her work blends everyday occurrences from her life with abstracted nightmares and crude humor. She tells a story with every piece she makes, developing a personal and slightly sinister narrative within each painting. Using vibrant colors, heavy patterning, and tight compositions, the work draws inspiration from a variety of sources including but not limited to American folk art, the cartoons she watched as a kid, Shunga, and her appreciation for architecture. This work was made for "Distant Figures", a group show at LaiSun Keane (November 1 - December 22, 2024).
