Painting on Cyanotype

Rest

Set on cyanotype print backgrounds rooted in family, nature, play, and love, these portraits celebrate the beauty, complexity, and divinity of sisterhood and womanhood. In a world that too often equates productivity with worth--a violent lie and myth weaponized to uphold capitalism’s extractive systems--these larger-than-life paintings assert: being is more than enough. I painted these portraits with reverence because a woman resting is a holy act, worthy of worship.

In lying still, in resting, in dreaming without apology, a woman reclaims her time. She reclaims herself. And in doing so, she moves the world forward.

Family

Mixed-media reflections on how my family has changed through the years and across a continental divide.

Sweets

These paintings are meant to uplift the spirit in hard times. Inspired by some of my favorite memes and sayings.

Dreams

Paintings inspired by the stories I remember from my dreams.

I would like to thank Jowita Wyszomirska for teaching me how to cyanotype and my friends and family for encouraging me to paint my little heart out.
