The truth of millennial women  

“I like to work with fashion in my paintings; it’s a modern day thing that people can relate to now, and I actually really enjoy fashion myself. It’s a part of me, and it gives [the work] that really nice contemporary feel. Maybe it’s our generation, just who we are, but I think for a lot of young artists that’s how we see ourselves, and subconsciously maybe that comes out.”

These paintings feel incredibly real and raw to me. They’re able to touch a part of the experiences and lives of the myself and the women that I know. The comfortable intimacy in the way her subjects spend time together, the poses and clothing that take into account absolutely no aspect of male gaze.

The work rings true, and it catches me.
