This painting, "She Dresses Herself, is part of a series called "Street Fashion." The pieces in the series document a movement, especially amongst young people, to dress in home-made, recycled, or repurposed clothing as a personal artistic statement of their character rather than following fashion trends set by industry. It is also a challenge to the fashion industry's contribution to global warming. This painting of a young child who chooses her own clothing is the ultimate in the freedom of expression prior to the impact of society's pressure to conform to industry standards and seasonal changes.
