I never wanted to be a Barbie doll myself, mainly because I did not fancy knees that bent backwards, but I always loved the look of the exaggerated perfect hyper reality she embodied.
Colour is very significant in my work. It often precedes all the other elements of a painting. I use solid colours with black boarders to highlight shape and significance, simplistically.
I really admire Andy Warhol & the way he made art accessible in everyday life and removed pretension from it by often poking fun at the establishment of that era.
I much rather be happy than be right any day and the same applies for my paintings.
