2004-2007 ETIQUETTE SERIES In the 1930‘s to 1950‘s, etiquette books like ‘Miss Manners’ were used to teach us lessons and reaffirm the societal beliefs of the time. I mimic traditional advertising iconography from pre-1950 to establish the ‘vintage’ visual look of these paintings. This accessible style helps diminish the political sting and allows the viewer to determine the meaning of the paintings as it pertains to them. 2006 - SIGN SERIES I am not entirely sure I am finished with this series. These 2 paintings are based on photos I took a the 'Sign Graveyard" in las Vegas. I love the irony of these glittery signs just wasting away in the desert.   2004 - FAIRY TALE SERIES In the past, Fairy tales were used to teach us lessons. My work takes this old text and through irony, word puns and satire, re-invents the often-outdated subject matter to draw attention to current issues.
