These pieces were printed on my home printer at 8.5” x 11” or 13” x 19”. The base images come from the Conceptual Online Projects series below. I hand-painted them with various art materials that I purchased at Blick, right downstairs from my Parsons MFA studio n 12th street.

Digital(ish) Works

These pieces were originally printed at 8.5” x 11” and then treated (wrapped in clothing packages, folded, or splattered with water). I then scanned them and reprinted them on photo paper at 18” x 24”.

The Female Painter

Much of my work in this phase was inspired and informed by my interest in “the female painter,” an idea I explicated here.

Conceptual Online Projects

During my MFA program I developed a series of conceptual websites for online personas, including Escart Girl, Devotology, ArtSexyStudio, Free Girl, Painted O, and Art Child. Some imagery from these archived websites appears below.
