All This and More: Stories of Girlhood, the Body, and Paint

Rebecca Poarch

With vivid colors and dream-like scenes, my research through painting and drawing aimed to realize the blurred line between the female body and its lived experiences, in conjunction with these developing ideas in contemporary figurative painting.  My work sought to understand the bodily experience of the girl in my paintings, as she is a reflection of myself, navigating her world through storytelling and understanding that she has the power to all this and more.
