My current paintings explore gender and how our lives are constructed around expectations of it. I paint female subjects as a male version of themselves, and interview each woman about how her life would be different as a man. I am interested in this concept because there is a disconnect between male and female lived experience. Yet, somewhere in that middle ground, there is a place where we can better understand each other.
