Working with gouache on aqua board, I create hazy dream worlds that mirror a distinctly southern landscape. The central femme figures wear expressions that are stoic and unbothered, as they are thrust into this familiar yet futuristic absurdity. Vibrant colors veil darker and perplexing themes of the south. On the surface raw sexuality, humor, and resilience can be found in my work. With deeper observation themes of pollution, uncertainty, and the challenges of sexism rise as uncomfortable truths.
