Square Dancer 1

In my art, I explore how mythology relates to identity. Our fantasies often begin with toys. My work uses dolls as an entry point for the viewer, allowing them to become a child again and play pretend. The dolls represent all the masks we wear. We are never ourselves in our fantasies, and we are more loved, wanted, stronger, and healthier. There are themes related to the moral lessons of fairy tales, the magic of the superhero costume, the objectivity of the burlesque dancers, and the elegance of the human figure. I’ve chased my curiosity about different forms of our character, be it a hero, villain, friend or family. I work with various mediums, including digital, paint, watercolour, and found materials. I remix my digital drawings by hand after I paint the original artwork. Like remixing music, I explore new ways my art can be viewed.
