Born 1982 in Kamloops BC

Currently living and working in New York, New York 

Main medium is pencil but is known to use other materials such as blood, beer, coffee, dirt, spit , etc. 

I find her work to be beautiful, trashy, provocative and honest. I love it. 

(Any one know who designs this coat, BTW?)

 A lipstick, A Micky D's packet, A life savers, A thong, A soother, A birdie, A condom...

Its like an "I Spy" book for the girl who owns too much gold lame, but always leaves the house wearing to little of the fabric and bad PVC heels.

This one is my favourite, it reminds me of all the pitiful evils of beauty and vanity.

I'd hang it above my dressing table in my dream house <3

Just appreciate all the things to look at, let alone the big picture.

I wish the internet could do this piece justice, imagine seeing all 89.5 x 52.5" in person...
