About Hey Mister:

The Piece “Hey Mister” was a personal journey for me. As a little girl growing up in the desert being tough wasn’t an option, not only did I survive but I thrived, despite the conditions.  This painting reflects the wildness and resilient qualities of girlhood.  While appearing innocent and naive there is an undercurrent of danger and illusion, challenging the stereotype of what little girls are made of.  She is the embodiment of strength, beauty, suffering and tentative altruism.  She is the little girl in us all.
