"This work is from my 'quilt painting' series. Since moving to the Catskill Mountains in Upstate NY, I've become very interested in the tradition of women quilting. Due to a connective tissue disorder, my body can't sustain the physical acts of quilting so I decided to explore the visual language of the art-form through an ongoing series of paintings. I often depict historical experiences of women through these paintings, but with narratives rewritten to right traumas and produce more cathartic outcomes for the characters. I also use the simple graphics in these pieces to interact with eras I have interest in but don't necessarily want to depict in a highly specific or naturalistic way, like British pre-history.

'Resistance' was made while processing feelings about the erosion of women's rights across the globe, in Ukraine, Iran and the U.S., as well as the historical subjugation of women and what 'resistance' could mean."
