This series is informed by the politics of Women in Art History, the social constructs of Beauty in pop culture, the social media gaze, celebrity status, Fashion, cross-cultural aesthetics and hip-hop style. This series is a expressionistic interpretation that makes obvious the sublime influences of Botticelli and Beyonce, Rhianna, Bantu knots, the jazzy energy Romare Bearden’s collages, and the pensive geishas depicted in Utamaro’s 17th century Ukiyo-e woodcuts.
