STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent work, I have been inspired to explore themes of nature, femininity, and family through collage using found images, repurposed art reproductions, and observational drawings. These are recent pieces made during the “Stay At Home” period of the COVID19 pandemic when we were all struggling to figure out what the new normal was and how we would move forward. Like many people, I was wrangling with anxiety and restlessness. These small collages and mixed media pieces were creative and emotional releases but also serve as a record of that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went on to study Printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design and then worked as a jewelry and accessories designer in New York\u2019s fashion district.

Belolan lives in Mamaroneck, New York, with her husband and two young children, where she creates in her home studio.
