TEASCAPES: New Works  

---

TeaScapes are meditational environments created through the use of salvaged tea packaging layered with watercolor and gouache. 

---

​Red Carpet Icons include the several appliances, along with a few baked goods posing on the red carpet. Many of my appliances in past works (one included here, St. Mixer), were sainted with halos and personified in a way. 

---

Optimism pieces celebrate the color yellow, and in particular all were created with Optimism Yellow. They are an ode to happiness, joy, and a more positive outlook on life. 

---

Kitchen Gods include the Kitchen Saints and Sainted Appliances. These tongue-in-cheek domestic portraits explore appliances and other trappings of the household as modern-day icons. 

---

Apron Strings look at the duality of the frock that women have worn for centuries for function and fashion. I'm interested in the way that the apron can both restrict women's roles as well as be tied to freedom of choice to work in the kitchen.
