This is part of my new series, Women in Cars. These paintings with one collage element - a car ad from a vintage magazine - explore the idea of escapism in a brief, concise plot that often has no resolution. This is an ongoing series that I have been making for the last decade by starting with a vintage car ad, then painting a new and uncertain background for these drivers. Each painting in this new series comes in a vintage frame that I have collected and paired with the car image.
