My paintings project possible communities of women by drawing from both a historical and imaginative past, present, and future. Utilizing imagery and ideologies drawn from The Women’s Land Army from World War I and World War II, as well as female separatist communities, fairy tales and literary fiction, my paintings acknowledge and reflect a world where female power is derived from collaboration, self-endowed agency, and connection with the natural world.
