Printmaking

Who is Marilyn Monroe beyond the image, and the allure? This 2’x4’ print challenges the way powerful women are remembered, critiquing a culture that defines them by their appearance rather than their influence. This print was conceptualized over two months, exploring the depth of its message and intent, before being brought to life in just one month (and drying for another).
