Perky Peggy and her pigtails speaks to antiquity and the modern women. My recent work explores ancient vessels and their myths juxtaposed against present day female imagery.
Copper encaustics form the body of the vessel and are expanded to the pigtails that pop out from the top of the vessel. Textured backgrounds are rubbed with rich greens and gold oil paints to create a modern day goddess.
A dramatic black and white striped border is painted around the 2" sides of the wood paneled painting.
