I did, however, find this quote from an interview she did which beautifully explains why she does what she does:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;My work delves into the world of adolescence, depicting girls and young women within carefully constructed scenes: at school, in the home, or out in nature. Themes of gendered socialization, anxiety, group dynamics, and performance are tackled within scenes of girlhood play and interactions, often stylistically referencing children\u2019s storybook illustrations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The narratives described in the paintings are meant to be sweet and somewhat familiar to the viewer, yet upon closer inspection they take a mysterious or unsettling turn. Sometimes conveying innocence and curiosity, other times confronting violence and fear, my work investigates the complex experience of coming of age. The costumes, colorful dresses, mournful funeral attire, and matching uniforms signify various modes of feminine identity, and set the stage for the girls\u2019 interactions. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood\u2014between fairytales and the dark realities of womanhood\u2014these characters develop an intricate play of yearning, contention, camaraderie, and mischief, as they navigate their social and physical environments.&#8221; (quote via <a href=\"http:\/\/artmazemag.com\/\">Art Maze Mag<\/a>)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girlhood, unleashed.
