WHAT CAN YOU DO 4 ME?


Original collage with frame, 5”x7”

Description reads:
THIS WORK IS ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONAL ATTITUDES OF MEN WHO HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF KINDNESS.

PATRIARCHY AWARDS THEM THIS ENTITLEMENT

LONG MAY THEY STUFFER IN DARKNESS

SIN FORGOT ME     AND I FORGOT TOO


Original drawing , 5”x7”, ink and color pencil

Created as I was contemplating my personal history with queer (bisexual) identity. This image symbolizes my experince of being closeted; I had not accepted bisexuality inside my heart, yet my queerness was so clear to those around me.

I grew up hearing demonization of queerness in fundementalist christianity, from my family, preachers, church members. This is why it took me so long to accept my sexuality.

When I came out, everyone in my life told me “I know” XD

The produce in the image symbolizes the generosity of my gay peers who helped foster my growth.

Cunt


Sleeved original painting , 6”x6”, Watercolor

The last image in an animated gif I created (see it here). Very cheerful, girly and dynamic.

A Vision of Movement


Sleeved original painting , 6”x6”, Watercolor

I saw this when I closed my eyes once and I wished to share it by visualizing it in this medium.

The Earth Meets The Sky


Sleeved original painting , 6”x6”

This work was inspired by Robin Wall Kimmer’s book, Braiding Sweetgass: namely the Anishinabe belief that everything is part of a circle and all forces of nature are connected to one another and to humanity.

I Know What You Like And I Hate It


Sleeved original drawing, mounted, oil pastel & color pencil, 10”x7.5”

The pattern here was inspired by a midcentury wall paper. The title is about the pain of domestic life as a woman: the quiet, repressed resentment that women sometimes have for their miserable husbands.

IDK maybe it’s just about how I’m still in love with my ex-boyfriend, trying to convince myself I’m over it. The time I spent getting to know him now wasted because we broke up.

Growth Changing Gravity 


Sleeved original, oil pastel & Gouache, 8”x6”

This heart holds the center, it is a sun of sorts. you can see the plants grow as if they’re in motion

The Swollen Woman 

Sleeved original, oil pastel, 6.5"x9" This is about the power women have to create life and the warmth of spirit in doing so.

Index Card Artworks 

Little sleeved originals, oil pastel and ink, 5” x 3.5” 

These are some of my more effective little sketches. I love to work on index cards because it gives me a certain freedon that I don’t quite feel with a bigger canvas.

A Warm Noise: Series 

Little sleeved originals, Watercolor , 5” x 4” 

 I’m obsessed with warm colors like this especially in creating depth. You can tell the Lemon Yellow in my watercolor pallet is more deplieated than any other color :P

Sold individually


ZOOOOOOOMMMM
Sleeved original, Ink on Cardstock, 4” x 6”

I created this with the intention to put it in a video project. In protest of normalized usage of generative machine learning, I incorperate analog media into my digital projects whenever I can.

High energy and high contrast: classic non-objective work from Yeehaw Kitty.

collage

I consider collage to be a visual representation of my participation in history. The materials I find connect me to whoever originally manifested or obtained them.

The family photographs and portraits in my work come a spirit. I feel a resonsiblity to archive them in this way so they are not left forgotten.

There is a destructive component as well. In defiance of hetero-capitalist-patriarchy I rip images and advertisements from their orignial publications to create new narritives.


This medium, Scapbooking, was renamed “Collage” after its appropriatation by male artists in the Dada movement (Picasso, Duchamp, Ernst).

Due to its matriarchial roots, I find that my practice here connects me to the scrapbooking practices of  my matriarchial predecessors who did not feel the freedom to call themselves artists.

Their practice lives on in my work

SERIOUS

Some works I composed outside of my sketchbook with great intention and planning - public - for display - for honorInspired greatly by Albert Abers! This is an integration of my non-objective illlustration practice and collage

It took great thoughtfulness, planning (sketching), and measuring for great payoff.

These are portfolio works intended to guarentee my admission to the Art BFA program at MSU Denver.

THIS ONE TOO

I love this piece. I made this shortly after I recieved training in 3-d media.

Basswood and Cedar for the framing, I had to be very careful about it.

Before this, I would say I composed my c0llages “intuitively” (I still do in my sketchbook) but there is something very final about the canvas, and there is certainly something very final about glue.

Pensive in Movement

Again, I am always thinking about the movement of time and it infiltrates my artwork whatever.

So does male - female.

This work demonstrates men’s use of DRINK in manipulating women’s behaviour of choice:

The hour may be late, the man is desperate, and he intrigues the woman’s attention.

I created these artworks shortly after my divorce which left me homeless. I kept my materials in a duffel bag for easy access and composed them in public spaces. 


This experience is what made me commit to a lifetime of creating art.


I recieved many inquires to my artistic behavor in such environments.

Once, the manager of the Sport’s Cuts next to the coffee shop i was in stopped to look at the work. She began to tear up as she reminisced on memories of scrapbooking with her daughters.

I responded by sharing my own memories of scrapbooking with my mother and sister.
When I was making the one in the middle, i was on a patio, my materials battling a trying wind, I held them down with weights.

A man walked by and asked me what I was doing. I told him and he responded, “Well keep it up Shorty!” This is one of the greatest encouragements I have ever recieved

They are displayed in chronological order of their creation.
These are some sketchbook collages I scanned and editedin photoshop.

Paula Scher

Poster design inspired by the work of Paula Scher, one of my greatest inspirations

The assignment was to capture the essence of a song in her style.

Using Futura in all of its fonts, I drew direct inspiration from her logo design for the New York Public Theater.

Bitmap was done in Photoshop, and added it to the composition in Illustrator. I used india ink on watercolor paper, scanned it, and live traced it to create the brushstrokes
