Movie Inspiration: Rocketman (2019) Artist Statement: I was inspired by the extravagance and the romantic themes presented in the movie. Having double silverware, double drinks, double empty bottles provides emphasis on the romantic themes. I chose to paint the background pink with glitter to enhance the theme of extravagance. In order for the glitter to show up on camera, Photoshop was used. The plate was painted with a gold trim in order to further convey an extravagant lifestyle. The plate was broken and then put together; the visible gold line is a reference to Kintsugi or the act of repairing broken objects with gold. The plate is meant to symbolize that even though we are broken, our partners are able to help us come back together.

I used hot glue around the eye to give dimension to the illustration. "Pain" 8.5x11 Paper, Pastels "Often our fear of pain contributes to it. Our culture expects childbirth to be a deeply painful event, and so, for us, it is." Page...
