Pin-up Portraits

These paintings and drawings feature alternative pin-up models painted on reclaimed floorboards or drawn on textured paper. For this project I selected poses from photo shoots on suicidegirls.com that resembled figures in Italian Renaissance art. Use of recycled materials is intended to add to the juxtaposed nature of the paintings—beautiful pin up portraits with catholic symbolism on old recycled beat up and scratched floorboards peppered with nails, staples and glue.
