In spring 2019, amidst the Me Too movement, I was solicited to create a piece for an exhibition entitled Superheroes, shown at Y-Art Gallery in Baltimore. Measuring 15” x 30”, Batgirl was created with female empowerment in mind. For inspiration, I chose a vintage illustration of a female bat and used a wallpaper that incorporated women, mothers, and small girls. Alluding to a female sensibility, the surrounding painted border transitions from a soft lavender around the top, down to a light pink bordering the bottom edge.
