Emerette O’keefe

Bio for Website: My work is fun and visually inviting, yet loaded with personality and cultural reference. The oil paint is smooth and luminous, giving each piece a polished surface that contrasts with the slightly chaotic energy of the imagery. The result is a body of work that feels youthful, and playfully self-aware like stepping into a scene where amiableness and rebellion share the stage.

Materials and Techniques: Starting with a wooden board I add gesso. Next I create an underpainting. I use paint thinner to create the first layer and linseed oil for the final layers to create a smooth painting.
