I have been working on a series inspired by the talented Kelly Reemtsen. There is just something about the retro 50’s/60’s housewife that I both love and yet, could never bring myself to be. I love the fashions, love the styles, love the purity of that time and love that you did your make-up to go to the store. However, being a housewife is just not, and never will be, my cup of tea. I blame this on being brought up by a self-reliant and strong-willed woman (thanks Mom). If I had been a housewife of that bygone era I’m pretty sure I would have mentally snapped and gone all Lizzie Borden on my bring-home-the-bacon, have-my-cocktail-ready, dinner-on-the-table-at-seven-sharp husband. So this series is a pastiche into the fragile mental state of the do-not-screw-with-me fashionable 50’s housewife.
Stay tuned for more… Enjoy!
