Artist statement
In the 80’s and 90’s as a young mother in the east village, struggling to continue to make art, take care of my babies, and earn a living, life was no easy feat. Some days I thought I was losing my mind. The 4th floor walk-up, with the stroller, groceries, laundry, a baby on my back and a toddler by the hand with no family to help felt almost impossible by the 5th year. The only solace was in making art. I was able to rent a cheap small studio space in Greenpoint in those days. What did I paint? Women and children. Very uncool in the hip galleries of the East Village Gallery scene. I called the paintings and drawings the dark side of domestic life. Today, I continue to work in this vein on The Chibok Project which focuses on global and local violence against women and girls.
