A Classic Starlet in a modern age: unconventionally glamorous and artistically clever *Genuine Pin up*
Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)
I grew up in Orange back when orange trees lined the mall driveway and I found inspiration in my grandma's stories of her life she would tell as she taught me "how to be a lady". Her Rakish Vintage style and homemaking talents were captivating. I have always been an artist, with roots in my retro upbringing. I refined my skills at the University of Central Oklahoma where I studied fine arts. Bouts of homesickness for led me to look towards Pin Up and Glamour Art for inspiration; I came across the works of Edward Runci, and immediately fell in love with his painted ladies, whom I was drawn to for their strong curves and uncanny familiarity. I identified with them and found contentment with my own blossoming figure. I began painting similar features in my own works which led to critiques that pointed out "Is that a self portrait?"
Fast forward to a few years later, I learned that the gal in Runci's paintings is my Aunt Maxine Sunderman, on my Father's side, Edward Runci's Wife and favorite model. She is an acclaimed artist too.When I compare our brushstrokes there is a similarity there, though I never painted with her.
I thrive on continuing a lifestyle that pays tribute to my family's roots and the great history of America. I'd love to share that with you!
